Compare Word documents Leave feedback

GroupDocs.Comparison for Python via .NET allows developers to easily compare Word documents and detect differences in text, formatting, styles, and structure.
This is useful for legal contracts, business reports, and collaborative editing workflows where accurate change tracking is essential.

With the API, you can:

• Compare DOC and DOCX files
• Highlight insertions, deletions, and formatting changes
• Export results as a Word document or another supported format

To compare Word files, follow these steps:

1. Create an instance of the Comparer class and load the source Word document.
2. Add one or more target Word documents.
3. Call the compare() method to generate the result file.

import groupdocs.comparison as gc

source_path = "source.docx"
target_path = "target.docx"
result_path = "result.docx"

# Initialize the comparer with the source Word document
with gc.Comparer(source_path) as comparer:

    # Add the target Word document
    comparer.add(target_path)

    # Compare and save the results
    comparer.compare(result_path)
