Many
finished documents, books and magazines are examples of team efforts where
people work together to create some polished product. There are times when you
involved with a single document that was created and modified by some others
from your group. Such team work can be easily handled by using comparison tools
available in Microsoft Word 2007.
Compare and Combine
documents
Compare
and Combine options provides you a way to differentiate two documents to review
changes such as formatting and white spacing along with word level or character
level changes. This option can be useful situations where you need to expedite
a review process by giving separate copies of original document to reviewers.

document or just compare two versions of a document to look at the differences.

make a copy of document with tracked changes and reject all changes. It will
create an original copy of document that you can use either compare or
combine features.

look similar features, there is a difference between them. Compare is generally
used to comparing the differences between two documents, and Combine is used to
compare two or more documents as well as to identify who changed what in the
document.
You can specify the types of
changes you want to compare like formatting, white spaces, and word or
character level changes. The Compare and Combine features can be found under Review
tab in the Compare group.

A template is a kind of document which creates a copy of itself when you open it. So, if you are using some word documents frequently then it makes sense to create a template. Microsoft Office 2007 allows you to create a template by saving a document as a .dotx file, .dot file or .dotm file (.dotm file type enables to use macros in the file). For example, a letterhead is a frequently used document in any organization/firm. Letterhead usually consists name, address and logo of an organization and sometimes a background pattern. Instead of creating a document having such fixed info. from scratch, you can use a template with a predefined page layout, fonts and margins. All you have to do is open a template document fill in some text and info. that is specific to your document. Upon saving a document as a .doc(x) or .docm file, you save your document separately from the template on which it is based.
Save as a template
You can start with a blank document and save it as a template, or you can create a template that is based on an existing document. For the sake of simplicity, we will see how to create a template from a blank document.
Save As - Word Template
Click the Microsoft Office Button on extreme top-left corner, and then click New.
Click Blank document, and then click Create.
Make the necessary changes that you want to the page layouts, margin settings, font styles, Headers & footers, etc. You can also add instructional text and content controls such as date pickers, and image that you want to appear in all new documents that you base on the template.
Click the Microsoft Office Button, and then click Save As.
In the Save As dialog box, do one of the following:
On a computer that is running Windows Vista, under Favorite Links, click Templates.
On a computer that is running Windows XP, under Save in, click Trusted Templates.
Give the new template an appropriate file name, Select Word Template in the Save as type list, and then click Save.
Close the template.
By default, user template files are stored in following locations:
In Windows XP
C:\Documents and Settings\<your_account_name>\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates
To create documents based on this template, click the Microsoft Office Button and select New. Click My Templates in the left pane. In the box that opens, select your template and click Ok. The opened file will function like a template but it's just a copy of template as a standard document type.
Notifications are good to keep up with social network activity. You are continuously being updated upon receving comments or +1s, on the post you shared. Google+ allows to receive such notifications via Email alerts.
