Split screen- What is it and how do I use it in Word?
I would like to know what is a split screen in MS Word and how do I use it to
create better word documents. My students need clear understanding of the term "Split Screen" but I don't know how to explain it to them. -- Computer educator |

Split screen- What is it and how do I use it in Word?
hi - have you tried it?
I have just opened a Word 2003 file. and selected "split screen" - it gives me the option of where to place the split. Having clicked, my file is then effectively split into two portions and each can be viewed and edited independantly from the other portion. As I have never used this facility, I would have to guess at a benefit. The best I can think of is that it gives you the option to view one part of a document whilst editing another - but on the same screen. The gap between them may be pages apart which would normally require you to scroll backwards and forwards. Hope that helps and now I know that that facility is there (isn't that uncle bill great? ) I can use it myself.

I know there is also the "Track Changes" facility in MS Word XP but the above is handy if you want to compare one document against another that has been modified. To achieve this, with both files ACTIVE on the taskbar, click on Tools - Customise & Keyboard. In "Categories" select "All Commands", scroll down to "WindowsArrangeSideBySide" and assign a keyboard shortcut with the Alt key plus another; e.g. I chose Alt + 5. When the two files are displayed side by side [virtically] a tab appears on screen which enables both files to be scrolled together. This latter feature however is not available when the files are shown horizontally!! Handy to know I think. Rupert.B |

i find it handy when needing to compare 2 parts of a long document that are
several pages away from each other. just split the screen, then in the upper section scroll to the first part of the document i need to see; in the lower section scroll to the latter part of the document i need to compare it to, and voila! i can see both at the same time and edit both pages independently in the same document while viewing them both.
