RE: [libreoffice-users] Re: [3.5.3.2/Writer] Split screen in half horizontally?

Umm, if two Text (.odt) documents have not changed dramatically, does not the 

        Edit | Compare Document ... 

menu dialog provide a way of seeing how the currently open document is changed from another 
document?

       I wish this were true ... using WIN [now 7], it's not  ;-(

       To be able to compare 2 versions side by side would be an asset -
often, I've wanted to remember how something was worded ... so I have to
close the document, open the other document then reverse the process
because both versions cannot be open at the same time -
             I've tried minimizing one document but it closes on its own
when the next document is opened -

       the computer is always a step ahead of me  ;-)
