How can I compare two documents (different versions of same document) to see the changes/differences between them?
MacBook Pro
You open the documents side by side and compare.
very funny...
Use Tracking during edits.

Not intended to be. There isn't any feature to compare two documents in another way!
If you work on one document you can use tracking to keep tracks of the changes, just like Jerry said.
Maybe some additional information will help: the documents are 50+ pages. One has been corrected, the other one was created for a different client on the basis of that first document before the corrections were made.
I have no way of finding the corrections done in the first document as they were done with track changes on and following that these changes were accepted (or not). The final version of the first document does not have any visible track changes comments anymore.
I thought (hoped) that there would be a possibility to have a COMPARE function that would allow two Pages documents to be compared and the differences highlighted....
Thanks for any suggestions...
It would have been lovely with a compare feature. There isn't. My first posting is the only way as far as I know. Sorry.
Export both documents as text.
There are free applications able to compare text files.

Interesting suggestion - Thank you!
Which application could you recommend/suggest that I could use to compare the 2 documents?
Enter Google and search for :
compare AND file AND mac.
The first link which it returned here is :

Great suggestion!
However, I got stuck at the part where is says: Install Dev Tools, or download it, and look for /Developer/Applications/Utilities File Merge.
I've registrered as an Apple developer on their site but have no idea where I can download/install the Dev Tools.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
The developer tools are available on one of the DVD delivered with macOS X 10.6
I don't know if you have the system sold in a box or the system bundled with your mac.
If it's the bundled one, it's on the first DVD, the one entitled Applications Install DVD.
Insert in in the CD/DVD drive unit
You will get a folder icon entitled "Optional Install" (or something resembling to that. I translated the French name)
Open the folder. You will see three icons. One of them is entitled "Xcode.mpkg"
Double click it to start the install process.
I apologize, I forgot that most users don't install this set of useful items.

download Libre Office, or any other Open Office for Mac.
Then do this:
