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

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

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
