Can Word check similarity from another doucment instead of online source?

[@brendamg7298]

Brilliant

Its not accurate i once checked similarity for someone and it was 3% and then when the person used a different software it was 47%

[@ahmedmoin295]

Does anyone know if it checks texts different languages too?

[@gabbslifts]

Yh they do

[@paigeoliver698]

I use to have the similarity checker in editor , now i don't see it anymore.

[@MubinNoor]

Sadly, it is inaccurate. The percentage shown is always much less than the actual percentage plagiarism.

[@dyahayu6794]

There is no similarity button in my ms word 365
