Comparing bidirectional text

About this task

Visual text compare is supported for local files, team compare and history, and remote file compare. Visual text compare becomes available only when the Compare check box is selected in the Bidirectional Development preference page and the files being compared are in smart logical format. When you enable bidirectional support for comparing files, the Text Compare window is replaced with the Visual text compare window. The Visual text compare window functions similarly to the standard window except that bidirectional format is indicated by <SL> following the file name. Additionally, visual text compare offers the following benefits: For visual text compare, the Internal Find/Replace window is replaced by the Find/Replace Visual Text window, which allows visual typing of bidirectional data and correct processing of smart logical files. You can allow typing from right to left by pressing the Alt+NumLock key, and you can make autopush typing mode active by pressing the Alt + NumPad key.
