can I turn off snychronous scrolling when comparing 2 documents

[jtchfs]

I want to compare 2 documents in word using the side by side view. Using
snychronous scrolling, both documents move together. I need to move through
each document separately while still looking at them side by side. Can I
turn off the snychronous scrolling?

On the Compare Side by Side toolbar that appears when you start the Side by
Side activity there is an icon called Synchronous Scrolling, click this once,
and you can know scroll one or the the other document independently, click it
again and the synchronous scrolling will start again.

Hope this helps

If you're in Word2007, on the View tab it's the button just below the
one that turns on side-by-side.
