COURSE TEXT

Imagine that you are a college professor and you have read two similar articles about the solar system. You now want to compare the two documents side by side to see just how similar they are.

All you do is open both documents, and then, in one document, click Compare Side by Side on the Window menu. See the illustration on the left for more information.

If only one document is open, then the Compare Side by Side command is not available.
