My colleagues and I are often exchanging documents typed up in N++ to make edits (text)
Is there a way I can have all the changes I make show up with red or something, so my colleague can easily see what I've changed. and then do the same for when my colleague make their own changes to send back?
This would be extremely useful =]
You can use a diff/merge program (http://winmerge.org/ is free and works pretty well). If you're doing a lot of exchanging, are more than a few people, or are updating a whole bunch of documents, I'd suggest setting up a subversion repository (http://subversion.tigris.org/) and using something like TortoiseSVN (http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/) to see the diffs.
