We save all our M$ Office files as HTML. This usually results in one file (if you've got no header/footer in Word, if you've only got one sheet in XL) with no formatting loss. Also, viewing the results in ViewCVS is nice since it renders directly in the browser. Word of caution: Word and XL both write out the cursor position, as well as last save time and last author. Therefore there is ALWAYS a conflict if merging. XL 2000 would simply crash if the conflict marker where in the file (<<<<<<), XL XP now handles this better - it just mangles the file as it displays it. __________ do fork agent( smith ); repeat; > -----Original Message----- > From: William Blencowe > [mailto:bill.blencowe at datacommmanagementsciences.com] > Sent: Wednesday, August 06, 2003 6:14 AM > To: cvsnt at cvsnt.org cvsnt downloads at march-hare.com @CVSNT on Twitter CVSNT on Facebook > Subject: [cvsnt] $log & $header in M/S files > > > Hello, > > I would like to version control Microsoft Word, Excel, & > PowerPoint docs. > CVS want's to handle them as binary, so I can't use the $log$ > & $header$ in > the doc's.
