the waters have indeed parted!

Leave it to the Dutch!!

> No, your eyes are not deceiving you - the waters have indeed parted! This incredible "sunken" bridge

> located in the Netherlands is giving visitors a unique way to access a  beautiful 17th Century Dutch fort.

>

> Designed by RO & AD Architects, the Moses Bridge literally parts the  waters that surround the fort,

> allowing pedestrians to pass through. The bridge is made from sustainable Accsys Technologies

> Accoya wood, which is both FSC and PEFC certified.

> A series of moats and fortresses were built over the West Brabant Water Line region of the Netherlands

> during the 17th century in order to provide protection from invasion by France and Spain . Fort de Roovere

> was surrounded with a shallow moat that was too deep to march across, and too shallow for boats.

>

> In turn the earthen fort had remained protected -until now. From afar, the Moses Bridge is invisible to the eye. The flow of the

> moat appears continuous, as the water level remains at the same level, reflecting the surrounding foliage. As visitors approach the fort,

> the bridge appears as a break in the water with its sloping walls containing it. First lying flush with the earth, the bridge then descends deeper into

> the ground. Lined with wood sheet piling for walls, the deck and stairs sit  between. The bridge and its components

 have been made from sustainable hardwood that is Cradle to Cradle Gold  certified.

>

> The Accoya wood is also treated with a nontoxic coating, protecting it from fungal decay and increasing its durability - an ideal material for a sunken bridge.

> Like a dam, the walls of the bridge hold the waters of the moat back, and like Moses, the bridge parts the  waters so that pedestrians may pass.

How to compare 2 docs in WORD

How to compare easily two versions of the same Word document? If several persons work on the same document, it’s necessary to manage and organize its editing. While collecting all change proposals it’s good to use the word function Track changes. There are also some smart tools for collaboration which help you to avoid having two or more versions of the same document. But what to do if it happens anyway? To compare two versions of the same document by yourself (without any special tool) it’s not easy and almost impossible. WORD has a built-in function for this case! This function could be very useful, if you missed to activate Track Changes. A tip for power users: You can use this function also to compare other text files like results of SQL-queries, comma/tabulator separated values (CSV/TSV) and so on.

1. Open WORD on your computer and go to the ribbon tab Review. In the section Compare select the menu item Compare.

2. Choose your documents in the section 1 as original and in the section 2 as revision. If you already opened the related documents you can select them in the drop-down menus. Otherwise you have to use the directory icons (Open).
   The base for the comparison of these two documents is the original document. You can exchange these two documents with the green arrows (3) if you interchanged them while selecting.

 

You can change the search for differences by additional settings. Please click on More and finally confirm with OK.

3. Then you will get listed all differences.

On the left you can see the list of all differences.
In the middle you can see all changes in the context.
At the right side you will get shown the original text (in the upper section) and the revised version (in the section below).
