There are at least two ways to do this.
- Assuming you have Tools > Options > View > Windows in Taskbar checked, so each
document has a separate window: Open both documents. Minimize any other program

Windows Vertically (or in Vista, Show Windows Side By Side).
- Regardless of the setting of Tools > Options > View > Windows in Taskbar,
click Window > Compare Side by Side.
