| Simple compare</h3> |
| <p CLASS="Head"> In one of the navigation views select file1.txt and file2.txt |
| choose <b>Compare With > Each Other</b> from the context menu. </p> |

| <p CLASS="Head"><img src="../images/Image80_compare.png" alt="Compare popup" border="0" ></p> |
| <p CLASS="Head">Edit file1.txt as follows:</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| delete line 1 "<i>This is line 1."</i></li> |
| <li> |
| change line 3 to be "This is a much better line |
| 3."</li> |
| <li> |
| insert a line 4a (before line 5) that reads "This is |
| line 4a and it is new" </li> |
| </ul> |
| <p CLASS="Head">The file (file1.txt) should now read as follows: </p> |
| <blockquote> |
| <p><i>This is line 2.<br> |
| This is a much better line 3.<br> |
| This is line 4.<br> |
| This is line 4a and it is new<br> |
| This is line 5.</i></p> |
| </blockquote> |
| <p>Save the contents of the file by choosing <b>File > Save</b> (or pressing |
| Ctrl+S).</p> |
| <p>To compare the files, once again select file1.txt and file2.txt and choose |
| <b>Compare With > Each Other</b> in the navigation view context menu.</p> |
