View Documents Side by Side



If you work with different types of documents often you may need to compare those files side by side. Microsoft Office (for Word & Excel) has an option to view/ compare documents side by side. 


Applies to: 
  • Word 2003
  • Office 2007, 2010, 2013 & 2016.

Remember, two documents should be running to view side by side.
