Compare XLS

Post by Titti »

When I compared 2 xls files and then saved they could not be opened in EXCEL. I get the answer " this is not a recognizable file format". Does the compare change the format or save it in a newer version. I have EXCEL 2003. Compare it is version 4.1.0.0.

In fact CompareIt should not allow you to edit xls\doc files. During comparison only plain text is extracted and compared, so if you force editing and saving your files can be overwritten with plain text. It should be possible to load it to excel as csv file, specifying | as separator, but this is not intended behaviour.
