I've just tried your approach with printing to a PostScript file, and modulo to different PS header content (of course, creation date and document title are different), the files are _exactly_ the same (I've used m95, one of the recent milestones). Of course, if you do that on different machines, you most probably _will_ get slightly different output, at least if things like CUPS, fonts and freetype are not exactly the same. For details regarding this export-to-something approach, please follow-up on the [email protected] mailing list. Of course, simply storing the document as XML will also show slight differences (modification time, etc.), but AFAIK, there's diff and merge functionality available somewhere to compare one's changes against somebody else's. Details might be available on the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list. > Is there an OO utility that can compare if two office documents > match ? > I'd say, that depends on your definition of 'match'.
