Betsy, Does the second file display normally when it is the ONLY file open in PAF? Just now, I reviewed the process of viewing two files simultaneously: I open one file normally (in my case, from the PAF shortcut) I open a second file (using File > Open, and browse to the file's location) I click Window > Tile Vertically Both files are now visible. I click the Individual tab on both files, and sort both files by Full Name in ascending order. That way I can see which names are in one file but not the other. So it is working normally for me.
