Microsoft Word 2007 'Track Changes' and 'Compare'
With respect to document comparison, Microsoft Word 2007 couldn't have been released at a better time for law firms. Word 2007's Track Changes and Compare features are as good, if not better, than traditional “outside-the-application” document comparison products. Couple this with the current economic recession in which most firms are reevaluating their document comparison technology investments ' and for good reason. Investing in outside the application document comparison products is expensive. “A PC that cost $1,500 when a firm did its last hardware refresh might cost $800 now, yet it still takes between $3,500 and $5,000 per year to support that computer,” according to market research firm Gartner, Inc.
Today's license and support costs for outside-the-application document comparison products, plus the additional costs for clean-up tools that work with them, are about 2%-4% percent of the yearly support cost for a PC. A significant number of firms are now, for the first time, asking themselves: “Why should we invest in outside technology for features already built into Microsoft Word 2007?” The question they should really be asking: “Is Microsoft Word 2007 ready to go it alone?”
