Word Diff?

If I decided to add Word documents to Vault, does it know how to show the differences? If not, does it know how to launch Word to compare and/or merge documents?

Vault treats Word documents like binaries, rather than text files. Vault will launch Word if you use the system default option to View or Edit a Word document, but the Diff/Merge tool will not be able to compare documents.

Seems like that feature would be an excellent addition and fairly straight forward to implement (launch word to do compare).

I'll add this as a feature request for consideration in a future release.
