Combine revisions from multiple authors.

Hi All, I was wondering if we can use MS Word Document’s feature on the Review tab, in the Compare group –> Compare –> Combine revisions from multiple authors.

We have a document which has to be reviewed by multiple people and then comments from different people has to be merged to create the final document. We have to do this in Java. This is for a small Proof of concept we are building.

Thanks,

Do you want to automate Word from Java to do that, or do you want to replicate Word's functionality in Java?

The former is out of scope here.

The latter is do-able, but non-trivial.

I want to achieve the later. I want to achieve MS Word's feature "Combine revisions from multiple authors"

I have multiple revisions of a document which are reviewed by few people. Now the changes done by all these people should be merged and we should have a final merged document. Can you help me ?
