Scott,
I'm not sure I fully understand how your updates are occurring, but I 
think the feature you're looking for is File > Utilities > Compare 
Documents. Have a look at the user guide or Help files on that topic.

(I'm thinking that if your document updates from a database, you might 
have to turn off automatic updates and save a stable "previous" version 
to compare with the updated version, but I don't have experience with FM 
and databases.)

HTH,
