I'm currently running Word for Mac 2008 on an iMac Intel with Snow Leopard. I do a lot of document writing, often switching back and forth between documents. I find it a pain to have to go to "Window," find a document, opn it, then go back to "Window" to where I was originally.

I've bene playing around with Scrivener and I really like how it lines up documents on the left and then you can import them into a split screen. Does Word 2011 have anything like this?

I hesitate to switch completely to Scrivener because I have Word 2008 set up pretty well the way I want it and I can't import those features into Scrivener.

Advice appreciated.

That may be how you use Word, but it is most certainly not required. Whenever I have multiple Word files open, I select among them by clicking on the window containing the document that I want to read or edit.
