Word includes tools to compare documents. 
Tools > Compare & Merge Documents..., at least in Word 2002

CSDiff, freeware by Component Software (http://www.componentsoftware.com/), can compare RTFs, but not (IIRC) *.DOC.

Beyond Compare (http://www.scootersoftware.com/) can compare Word files, it does it by converting them to text and comparing that, which may not be what you want.
