Keeping Page 1 in view as I type subsequent pages,
As in Excel, I need to keep in view page 1 of the document whilst I type
subsequent pages. Is this possible. Thank you Richard |

Keeping Page 1 in view as I type subsequent pages,
No, not really. There's no equivalent of Freeze Panes in Word. If you're
working in a table, you can elect to repeat the heading row on each page, but unless you keep the entire page visible, even that is of limited usefulness. When I was keeping a large mail merge data source in Word, this was such a nuisance that I ultimately migrated it to Excel. -- Suzanne S.

Keeping Page 1 in view as I type subsequent pages,
Yes. There are several ways. The easiest way is to use the split box, at the
top of the vertical scroll bar. Move the mouse to the top of the ruler--there's a dash there that's hard to notice. The mouse pointer will turn into two parallel horizontal lines with up and down arrows above and below. Drag the split box down. (Or... in Word 2007, choose View tab, Split.) Another way is to open a new window on the current document. If you have two or more monitors, this might be preferable to the split box. In Word 2007, you do this by choosing View - New Window. These options are available in earlier versions of Word, too. Choose Window - New Window or Window - Split (or use the split box). -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Richard" wrote in message ...

Keeping Page 1 in view as I type subsequent pages,
No equivalent of freeze panes, but it is possible to keep page 1 in view. I
do this all the time... it's very handy when writing about a chart or table to be able to see the chart as I'm typing. In fact, I often wish Excel could do this, since I frequently need to view multiple sheets at the same time. I end up opening a 2nd copy of Excel in Read Only for that worksheet. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Suzanne S.

Yes, thanks for posting The Answer, Herb. I spoke out of ignorance. g I've
never had much luck, I think, in working with split panes or Compare Side by Side or any of the other things that involve more than one window. I guess I'm too clumsy. -- Suzanne S.

Keeping Page 1 in view as I type subsequent pages,
Nah. You just need another monitor or two to expand your horizons.
Since moving up to two monitors, I now wonder how I ever managed with just one... especially since so much of my work requires writing about something I need to look at at the same time. In a previous life, I ended up printing out a lot of graphics to accomplish the aim. Now, I'm saving lots of trees. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...

Keeping Page 1 in view as I type subsequent pages,
I can barely fit one monitor on my desk--definitely no room for two!

My reply is at the bottom of your sent message.
In , Suzanne S. Barnhill typed: I can barely fit one monitor on my desk--definitely no room for two! Can you fit one wide one? If so then often that screen real estate can be split into two and it will function well enough. -- Galen (Not Current MS-MVP) My Geek Site: http://kgiii.info Web Hosting: http://whathostingshould.be "In solving a problem of this sort, the grand thing is to be able to reason backwards. That is a very useful accomplishment, and a very easy one, but people do not practise it much. In the every-day affairs of life it is more useful to reason forwards, and so the other comes to be neglected. There are fifty who can reason synthetically for one who can reason analytically." - Sherlock Holmes |

No, I have the largest monitor my desk will accommodate, and, although I
could split the screen, I prefer not to. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "Galen" wrote in message ... My reply is at the bottom of your sent message.
