Split screen and align right facilities in Word
Wordperfect had a very useful split screen facility. Can this be achieved in
Word, or might Microsoft consider an update? Ditto an "align right" facility for part of a line of text. This can be achieved in Word by using tables, aligning text as required in adjoining cells and then hiding gridlines, but that's time consuming. Tabs are a pain and don't always achieve perfect alignment.

Split screen and align right facilities in Word
I don't know how Woerd Perfect achieves a split screen , but you can split
the screen from the Window menu. Yoiu can also display two separate screens. You can always save a preformatted table as an autotext or autocorrect entry, which would give you a whole second of extra time to waste. Tabs work fine if you set them up correctly. Use a right aligned tab at the right margin and press shift enter to move down a line. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org John Runner wrote: Wordperfect had a very useful split screen facility.

Split screen and align right facilities in Word
When I have two documents open and want to view both at the same time, I
select "window" then "arrange all." One document is in the top half of the screen, the other document is in the bottom half of the screen. Each has its own vertical scroll bar. -- kc "John Runner" wrote: Wordperfect had a very useful split screen facility. Can this be achieved in Word, or might Microsoft consider an update?
