I used to be able to do this regularly using alt+tab to go from one document to the other, extremely handy for translation purposes. Now, when I open one document, the other disappears and I can't remember altering anything in the settings in Word. Can someone help please? Have an urgent translation to do. Thanks in advance to anyone taking the time to answer.
