Display Two Pages side by side at 100% View?

Sure, but there are at least 3 variables involved:

1- What size are the pages?
2- What size is the display?
3- What is the resolution?

You can't display two 8.5x11 pages side by side at 100% of actual size on a
17" display at 800x600 ppi, for example. If you have the luxury of a display
that's 20" plus it's a different story.

One footnote: The Zoom of 100% doesn't mean actual page dimensions (i.e.,
print dimensions). It means that the pixels of the content are displayed 1:1
with the pixels of the monitor.

Then just have your friend select "Two Pages" from the Zoom box. If
necessary adjust the window size and/or use View> Full Screen. I haven't
done the math but that should be sufficient based on the typical
resolution... I use a 17" @ 1280x1024 which doesn't provide enough vertical
real estate (about 10.75" total viewable area).
