I would say the easiest way to do THAT is
A. Open one of the files
B. Open a *DRAFT* output file
C. In a syntax window, enter and execute the command DISPLAY LABELS
D. Save the draft output file. It will have extension ".RTF", but won't
be too loaded with tags, etc., and can be used as a text file, or made
into one, without too much trouble.
Do the same for the second file, of course.
