...Besides, you should define what is "difference". This is not as trivial as it may seem.
Also, if you want to use text box, it means that you will have to ignore formatting, simply because it's difficult to show formatting differences in a plain-text text box. Or you don't want to ignore it? This is not so easy to specify.

i have two text documents i want to compare those documents and show differences to the user and I dont want to remove formatting

You said "word or text", that is, not quite text. And you still did not define "differences". If you think about it, you will see that it is not trivial at all.

It is not applicable to MS Word. More importantly, the problem is not well defined; please see my comment to the question.
