In Office 07, how do I split screen and work in 2 documents at once - either
2 word docs or one word and one excel doc? Thanks.

For two Word documents, there are several ways:

- If you Go to Office button > Word Options > Advanced > Display and uncheck
"Show all windows in the Taskbar", you can open the two documents and then
in the ribbon, click View > View Side By Side. Or you can click Arrange All,
which will stack the two documents above and below.

- If you go to the Options dialog and check "Show all windows in the
Taskbar", you can then right-click a blank spot in the Windows taskbar and
choose Tile Windows Vertically. This also works for two windows from
different programs, such as Excel and Word. Just make sure that all other
open programs are minimized before choosing that command.

Open the two documents, click the middle button in the upper right
(next to the red X) to shrink the window, and resize the two windows
(by dragging their sides, their bottom, or their bottom corners) until
they occupy as much of the screen as you need to see.

I sometimes have a Word document on 3/4 of the screen and a pdf open
in Reader on the left 1/4 of the screen for reference.
