Exit from Split Screen mode
I am doing work that frequently requires use of the split pane mode. However,
once in a while I need to go back to a full, single pane. Frustratingly, instead of reverting to single pane at the place I've put the cursor (usually somewhere in the top pane) Word ALWAYS repositions the cursor to the pane that is nearest the end of the document and makes that the active single pane. I haven't been able to find a workaround for this one, but then I really shouldn't need to; the cursor should stay where it was placed and the single pane should take me to that point regardless of whether I'm working in top or bottom pane when switching. Has anyone else found a workaround? |

Hi Dave, Instead of using the Window Remove Split command, drag the split bar to either the top of the window (if you're working in the lower pane) or the bottom of the window (if you're in the upper pane). When you hit the top or bottom, the split disappears and the cursor is left at the current position in the pane you've enlarged. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org |

In addition to Jay's suggestion...I use the split a lot, too. I always
just double click on the split to remove it and yes, it's a PITA to be moved. But if you hit Shift+F5, you go back to your last location...which will take you to where you last make a move in the doc. I've gotten into the habit of doing this and found it to work nicely.
