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.
Now that is cool, I never new you can do that. It works here on Opensolaris
also, not just a Windows thing.
