Display Two Pages side by side at 100% View?

Sure, but there are at least 3 variables involved:

1- What size are the pages?
2- What size is the display?
3- What is the resolution?

You can't display two 8.5x11 pages side by side at 100% of actual size on a
17" display at 800x600 ppi, for example. If you have the luxury of a display
that's 20" plus it's a different story.

One footnote: The Zoom of 100% doesn't mean actual page dimensions (i.e.,
print dimensions). It means that the pixels of the content are displayed 1:1
with the pixels of the monitor.

I'm asking on behalf of a friend so I don't have *all* the info.

Pages are 8.5 x 11 (text only)

Display is > 20"

Resolution unknown.

Then just have your friend select "Two Pages" from the Zoom box. If
necessary adjust the window size and/or use View> Full Screen. I haven't
done the math but that should be sufficient based on the typical
resolution... I use a 17" @ 1280x1024 which doesn't provide enough vertical
real estate (about 10.75" total viewable area).

Is there a way to display two pages side by side at 100% View?

I really need to see two pages (so I can see long sections) side-by-side inone screen. I don't like how Word only seems to do this at 75%. I want to see it at 100% at least. I KNOW There is a way to do this--because I did itby accident one day, or it just seemed to work. However, I obviously didn't fix it permanently.

I just got a new 22 inch monitor but I'm hardly using it's capacity. And annoyingly, there is enough "extra" room to fit in the edges of the page -- that grey bit. Why can't I get rid of the grey bit and just make the 2 pagesappear at 90%??

Someone please help! FOR SURE there is a way to do this! I just can't seem to find helpful instructions online.
