The menu that pops up offers two "tiling" options: horizontal and vertical. Choose the more convenient. Your two Writer documents (or views of the same document) will then be either side by side (vertical tiling) or one above the other (horizontal tiling). Each window will have its own scroll bars so you can easily have two different views of the same document (or spreadsheet or ...). When you initially tile the windows they each use 1/2 the screen vertically or horizontally. You can make one window narrower/shorter and the other wider/taller by simply resizing them separately in the usual way. To toggle between the windows, just click in "the other" one.
