If you don't see the document in the list, click Browse for Original .
By default, Microsoft Office Word shows changes to whole words. For example, if you change the word cat to cats, the entire word cats will show as changed in the document and not simply the character s.
To change which documents appear on the screen when you click OK, in the Compare group, click Hide Source Documents or Show Source Documents.
Note Word can store only one set of formatting changes at a time. Therefore, when you merge multiple documents, you may be prompted to decide whether you want to keep the formatting from the original document or use the formatting from the edited document. If you don't need to track formatting changes, you can clear the Formatting check box in the Compare and Merge Documents dialog box.
hope this could help.
