I have converted the text insets (MIFs full of tables) to text so table entries will compare. But the compare function is not consistently working. I either get a FM crash, an incomplete number of CMP files (missing CMP files when I know the file changed), or just plain incorrect CMP files (CMP file just mimics previous version). I do not need the Visio's to compare, but I do need table text to compare (show what's deleted/added).<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I am looking to memory as a cause, and will try to compare some more after closing all other programs and functions, but I thought I'd check the list to see if anybody has experience with this. Normally I don't do book compares, but we are starting a new version of our spec, and reviewers have asked to see all changes indicated specifically--not just with change bars.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Thank you in advance!<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>PS: I have 3GB of memory, 32-bit operating system.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>PPS: I have thought to compare PDFs, but I fear the markup would be horrendous and useless.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Marilyn<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Gill Sans MT","sans-serif";color:#380069'>Marilyn Fausset</span></b><span style='font-size:9.0pt;color:#380069'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Gill Sans MT","sans-serif";color:#380069'>Senior Technical Writer</span></b><span style='font-size:9.0pt;color:#380069'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Gill Sans MT","sans-serif";color:#595959'>Storage Networking Industry Association </span><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Gill Sans MT","sans-serif";color:#380069'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:9.0pt;color:#595959'><a href="http://www.snia.org/" title="http://www.snia.org/
