I have XP pro. Word 2000 on a desktop, a laptop with W98
and a 250MB zip drive which I use between platforms. In
each location I now have in Windows Explorer various tree
sructures, folders and files that differ slightly.(I have
just dicovered Briefcase and will use this in future!)
I want to merge the three slightly differing versions of
trees, folders and files together, adding any new folders
and files and selecting only the latest version of files
which have the same filename.
Basic merging seem easy. What I cannot get is only the
latest versions. Each merge operations adds folders and
files with new names but overwrites things with the same
filename, not selecting the latest version.
Does anyone know how to get a merge operation to select
only the latest versions? All help very welcome.
