Word: New Window

 

Word: 1

Word only. This allows you to open the same document in a new window (so you can compare different sections of a document).  It's a clever idea, which would involve opening the same document as a copy in WP.

WP: Cascade

WP: 1

 

WP only. This allows you to cascade your Windows, one on top of the other.

Word: Compare Side‑By‑Side

Word: 5

Very clever idea to allow you to compare 2 documents you think may be similar.  Of course you could do something similar in WP, but the clever part comes as Word performs synchronous scrolling, i.e., both documents scroll simultaneously!

Word: Split

Word: 1

Similar to 'New Window', except instead of two copies of the same document used to compare different sections of the same document, this allows you to 'split' (visually only, not actually) the same document into sections to compare, etc.  Again, a very clever idea.

WP & Word: Previous/Next Window

WP: 1

Word: 1

Exactly the Same (Ctrl+F6 & Ctrl+Shift+F6).  Word has just added this to its Toolbar, which of course could be done by a WP user.

WP: Tile Top to Bottom
Word:  Arrange All

WP: 1

Word: 1

Arranges your Windows neatly, one on top of the other.

WP: Tile Side by Side

WP: 1

WP only.  Arranges your Windows neatly, side by side.

POINTS

WP: 4

Word: 9
