How do you keep the comparison view display?

I'm comparing two historical transcriptions and need to see specific word differences, so I was really glad to see the comparison function on Word. It works great, except that when I save the comparison as a file, it just becomes a document with a bunch of messy tracked changes. Is there a way to make it so that every time I open the file, it stays in the comparison view, with the two documents in smaller windows on the right side, etc.? It's really important.

I have Word 2013.

Hi Abel,

 

As of now, saving the file in the comparison view will close the source documents.

 

If you think this feature is important and want Microsoft to include it in Word, provide your feedback in the link below.
