Hello, I am using Windows 10 and I want to display 2 Word docs side by side, but when I press the Windows key and an arrow, the documents appear in two very small windows on the desktop. What's happening? Thank you in advance.

    Yes, that works like this, but

    1) the Sync Scroll and Reset buttons first appear greyed out, inactive. It is only after I click on Side by Side that they become active, but they then work oddly: to reset, you shouldn't click on Reset, which does nothing, but again on Side by Side.

    2) it’s less convenient than using the keyboard.

      Does the process work well even though it is laborious?

      Hello

      I don't quite understand your response.

      To compare two documents, Panth33ra gave you the official answer.

      The Word side-by-side feature allows you to compare documents, and once they are side by side, you can choose whether or not to enable synchronous scrolling. When you're done, you can restore the window position using the button of the same name.

      What is the complexity? I don't see what is laborious about this at all. If you click on Side by side again, it cancels the feature, so it restores as well.

      Your method is just a Windows function to place two windows next to each other, whatever they may be. It is not a Word feature and does not allow comparison through synchronous display.

      One last thing: be careful not to confuse the "Side by side" button in the Window group with the "Side by side" button in the Page Movement group.

        Hello,

         I don't see at all what is laborious in this matter.

        I missed the point of my sentence. I should have written...

         Does the process work well?
