If you turn on Add Hyperlinks to aid navigation, the links work best if the workbooks being compared are initially closed. For more details click here.

When you are aligning rows and/or columns, ensure that Use Alignment Plus is checked. It ensures that new rows in sheet #1 are always paired with blank rows in sheet #2 and vice-versa. This way the correct colors for additions and deletions are used.

A Better Way To View Character Level Differences

DiffEngineX could always highlight differences at the character level, when the option Color in red precisely the parts of... was turned on. However the character level differences were shown on the difference report. The difference report is a cell-by-cell listing of differences and is distinct from the color highlighted workbooks copies DiffEngineX produces. Typically the difference report is titled Sheet1.

A verbose report without context is sometimes difficult to interpret.

Now DiffEngineX can highlight character level differences directly on the spreadsheet copies it produces. The relevant option to turn on is called Highlight Character Level Differences.
