Have a View in Word so you to read a doc and edit another

P

Paulo

It would be really handy to have a view exactly the same as the READING View,
but one side is an exisitng document and the other is a NEW document that you
can edit. So you have two scroll bars, that way you can scroll and view an
existing doc and make notes from it in the NEW doc, without having to swap
between different docs.

Hope that makes sense - I saw that someone suggested TABS - but this doesnt
let you read from one and copy/paste, type from another.

Best wishes,
Paulo

Have you tried the "Compare Side by Side" feature in Word 2003? You can
scroll the two documents either synchronously or separately.
