arranging windows

I do a lot of translation work. Recently, I visited a friend who work on 'the other OS', not the cool one MAC. He was able, in Word, to place 2 Word windows SIDE-BY-SIDE simply by clicking on a tab. I'm kinda frustrated because, usually, whatever 'the other OS' does, I can do on my MAC. But not this. In the menu bar, if you select Window/Arrange All, the 2 windows are NOT placed side-by-sign. So, I'm eager to learn if this is something we can do with MAC...

Use the script here instead of Window | Arrange All.

Thanks to Daiya Mitchell. I was ecstatic to learn that we could arrange the windows vertically with MAC. I downloaded the script and saved it in 'Word Script Menu Items'. Everything seemed to be working except that I don't see the 'Arrange Vertically' option in the Window Menu (I restarted Word). Sorry, I'm no expert here. Is there something else I should have done with that script? Thanks again for your help. Can't wait to have that option available to me.

sorry! It won't be in the window menu---all scripts are in the script
menu in Word, little scroll icon to the right of the Help menu--use it
from there. There's no way to move it, I'm afraid.
