Thank you zyzzyva57.

I was aware of how to place the two documents side by side on the screen (although I don't have the synchronised scrolling features you mention on my version of Word).

However, you caused me to look again at the 'View' option and, by using the 'Zoom' function, I can reduce the page size percentage to a value which allows me to have the two documents side by side and with all the tools visible (I have the tool bar placed vertically on the right).

Thanks again, problem solved.
