Default Problem with Side-by-Side Viewing

This has started to happen to me just recently. I'm wondering if a recent
update may have broken this feature.

Actually, I just tried this again, and both the documents to be compared
stayed maximized and weren't displayed together at all. The only indication
of a change was the Close Side by Side toolbar in both windows.


Yeah, that just happened to me! I downloaded some sort of Windows XP
update and some sort of Office update, but nothing Word-specific.

When I get a chance I'll reboot Windows and Word and see if that solves the
problem. If not, I'll start Word in Safe Mode and see if it works there.
Beyond that, I don't know what to suggest.

When I click on the side-by-side viewing of two documents, my documents
display top/bottom rather than left/right. Do I need to change a setting
somewhere to make the documents display side-by-side?
