I use Word 2007 and it opens top and bottom and not left and right. I just
verified it. I tried view side by side. Then for completeness I tried
arrange all. Both result in top bottom.

If you have a version of Word that offers Side by Side (Word 2003 or 2007),
it is NOT over and under but side by side.

I know how to do the side by side comparison but it always uses Top-Bottom.
There is no option to do Left-Right. So you must manually drag and
resize
windows. And the windows only have the lower righ resize option now. So
you
have to move as well as resize.

sets up.
From your mention of the ribbon, I assume you have Word 2007.
Open both documents. Then click View View Side-by-Side. You may also
need
to click View Reset Window Position to get the two documents to share
the
screen equally. By default the Synchronous Scrolling button is turned on,
so
scrolling one document will scroll the other equally.
