FAQ

Comparison of a Word type component containing password-protected files fails

There are several ways to solve this problem:

Change Comparator configuration

  1. Open the UserClient.
  2. Click on the Edit component configuration button, in the Edit tab of the menu bar.
  3. Click on the Comparator configuration button, in the Component configuration dialog.
  4. The Comparison configuration dialog opens.
  5. Enter the password in the Exclude lines from comparison area.
  6. Activate the Exclude all non-displayable characters from entire comparison checkbox.

Perform a binary comparison of the passwords

If the passwords of the two DOCX files you want to compare are different, only a binary comparison can be performed. To do this, you must change the comparison for the component type from Winword to Binary. To do this, proceed as follows:

  1. Start the AdminClient and open the Component type editor module.
  2. The Component type editor dialog is displayed.
  3. Select the corresponding component type in the Component type library.
  4. In the Compare these files table, find the Winword compare class.
  5. Double-click on the comparator and select Binary from the dropdown menu.

Create version without comparison

Alternatively, you can create a version without performing a comparison. To do this, go to the UserClient and select the button Version without difference in the Extras tab in the menu bar.
