Is it possible to view for example page 1 and 2 besides each other in pageview ? I have 2 22inch screens and it would be nice to view 2 or more pages at the same time in page view. I did a search but coudn't find anything. Maybe somebody can shed a light ?

Thanks in advance

You can open two document windows, displaying two different pages of the same document.
You can position the two windows next to each other in a horizontal row.

Which are the keyboard shortcuts for a menu item : View menu->show->multiple pages.
The downside (and that's definitely a feature request) is that only the first page is editable !
If you open 2 windows, like Peter Thomsen suggests, both visible pages are editable if you display one page in each window.

In 2008, view menu->show->multiple pages (at the bottom).
