A bit of googling turned up this free (Windows) option, which might be worth a try:

“WCopyfind is an open source windows-based program that compares documents and reports similarities in their words and phrases.”

See the instructions page:

“When the process finishes, a browser window will open, allowing you to examine the pairs of matching files. You can click on the files individually for ease of printing or you can click on the “side-by-side” option to display the pair of file together in adjacent panels of new browser window.

“When you view the files side-by-side, all the matching phrases are actively linked between the two files. If you click on a matching phrase in the left file panel, the corresponding phrase in the right file will move to the top of the right panel, and vice versa.”
