For word 2000-2003, and windows XP or later.
Multiple windows can be opened for a single word document. I don't know if
there is a upper limit to the number of windows. Window 1 for document 1
could be split and zoomed to page width, while window 2 for document 2 could
show full page.
Each window is completely seperate, having its own scroll bars, toolbars,
menus, etc.
Try opening a new window, then using the tiling features of the windows
desktop to place the windows side by side.
Preliminary:
On the word tools menu, select options. On the view tab, ensure that the
windows in taskbar option is checked.
This option determines if word or windows manages the document windows.
[From Word Help: Windows in Taskbar- Displays an icon on the Microsoft
Windows taskbar for each open window in a Microsoft Office program. Clearing
this check box places a single icon for each open program on the taskbar.]
Open a new document window.
In word, click the windows menu, select new window.
Now click on the MS-Windows task bar (at the bottom of your display). You
should get a pop-up menu, Select tile windows vertically or horizontally as
you prefer.
If you have several things open at once then you will minimize all windows
first, then click on just the two word document windows. then use the taskbar
to tile horiz or vertically.
