I haven't tested the merge scripts myself, except to verify they get launched. I know the version of Office I have is apparently too knew, as they've dropped support for diff and merge. One of us will probably need to scour the SVN bug database for open issues for these scripts we've borrowed. > * see diff between two versions.
