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.

I am using Word 2003. I don't know which version of Word you are using but I
don't think the "Compare side by side" command is found in earlier versions
of Word.

Unfortunately, I'm not getting the choice of " Compare Side By Side" in the
Window part. I'm going to try to look for it through all of the format stuff.
Again Thank you

Maybe you could use the "Compare side by side" function. If you select Window
New Window, you will open the same document in another window. Then select
Window Compare Side By Side and select the "old" window in the dialog box
that opens (the windows are numbered (1) and (2)). You can then arrange the
windows so that the leftmost window shows the left column(s) while you work
in the rightmost window. A small toolbar, "Compare Side by Side",
automatically opens when you select "Compare Side by Side". The leftmost icon
in that toolbar lets you scroll synchronously (seems to be selected by
default).

I was looking to do it vertically because we are using landscape format so
the width is too long for me to see the other side. I have to keep going back
and forth and then lose track of what I'm doing. Thank you

You can split the window horizontally as in Excel (Window Split) but you
cannot freeze the panes as in Excel - and you cannot split the window
vertically. However, splitting the window horizontally may help - you can
display the header row in the topmost pane and work in the bottom pane.
To return to a single pane: double-click the split bar or drag the split bar
to the top or bottom of the window or select Window Remove Split.
Note that if a table spans more than one page, you can have the first row(s)
in the table repeated in the top of each page: select the row(s), then select
Table Heading Rows Repeat.

In Excel, you can select "freeze panes" so you can scroll to different cells
and still se the first one. Is it possible to do that to a table in Word? If
so, how?
