I'm a long-time Word user [since 2.0], and unsure how to resolve this:

I split a window in a Word 2003 doc so that I could copy the formatting
from
something in the top of the document to something on the bottom--without
having to scroll down.

This does not work. Word seems to treat them as different docs. The
mouse
pointer even changes shape [back to normal arrowehead] when hovering over
the
lower, target window.

Is this behavior a 'feature'--or a bug?
