Dear Open Office,
What I want to be able to do most with my text documents is to be able to
open the same document in 2 or more separate windows. It would be fine if
only the first window were capable of being edited, but it would be better
if the document could be edited from multiple windows on the same computer
at the same time. When I'm writing a long paper, or even a not-so-long
paper, I spend a tremendous amount of time scrolling around looking for
things I wrote in one place and trying to make sure the rest of the paper is
consistent with it. This feature would save me oodles of time. I could
have the same doc side-by-side, on separate monitors, or even on different
"desktops".

Open the document and then click menu item Window>New Window. A new
window will open with the same document displayed. You can then use your
window manager (Microsoft Windows I guess in your case) to display these
either side by side or one above the other. Of course they are
separately scrollable and changes made in one window are instantly
reflected in the other. If you have a dual monitor set-up you should be
able to drag one of the windows to the other monitor and work with both
full screen.
