Default Split Screen

How do you split the screen on WORD to be able to look at two documents the
same time? I have a contract document that allows me to fill in the necessary
blanks. I want to have that document up on my WORD screen side by side so I
can work on them together.

Set the Word option to show Windows in the Taskbar.
Close all open applications except Word.
Open the two documents.
Right click the Windows taskbar. Select 'tile windows vertically"

In addition to Graham's suggestion, if you have Word 2003, you can use
Window | Compare Side by Side With.

In Word 2007, on the View tab, in the Window group, click View Side by Side
when you have both of the documents open.
