MERGE FILES QUESTIONS
in [Microsoft Office]

Next: How do I write a code to activate a popup menu when I right click in a label control?
From: Matthew W. I. Dunn on 9 May 2008 10:40 There are two questions here: (1) I click Save As > another file with a different name. Office comes up with a box that asks if I want to replace file, overwrite file with changes, merge files. I click "merge." Just *what* is this doing? The Help button is useless for information about merging document files. (2) After clicking "merge," four windows pop up: On the left, a long, thin window showing (I guess) the changes made in the merge; a big window in the middle showing the combined document; on the right, two boxlike windows showing the two original files. I closed the window on the left. But, . . . how do I get it back? I tried going back to Square One (open document > Save As > choose another file > select third option: merge). Nothing happened. The window did not come back. In fact, nothing happened like it did the first time. All it did was open up the other selected document, presumably, with the changes already merged. Once again, the Office Help function was as helpful as Clippy.
