Add Combine/Merge functionality for Word #7

Open LightCC opened 5 years ago

LightCC commented 5 years ago

Word has a "Merge" or "Combine" mode as well diff/compare (at least in the latest versions).

Propose extending the tool to accept a merge mode in addition to diff which will use the Word Combine mode instead of Compare. This appears to accept multiple files so it could be either 2 or 3-way merge (thus could be easily configured to work with git in the same way diff is).

Here is a Microsoft page explaining how to use the Merge function. Wouldn't it be nice if MS had command-line arguments for these functions?
