I wish this were true ... using WIN [now 7], it's not ;-(
To be able to compare 2 versions side by side would be an asset -
often, I've wanted to remember how something was worded ... so I have to
close the document, open the other document then reverse the process
because both versions cannot be open at the same time -
I've tried minimizing one document but it closes on its own
when the next document is opened -
the computer is always a step ahead of me ;-)
