Can I have two pages on screen for writing?
I have a widescreen monitor, lots of space horizontally. Is it possible to
split Word such that I have two pages on screen (horizontally)? For example, I start writing on page one (on the left) and as I fill it up, cursor goes to the top of page two (on the right), thus I can see the context of the previous page on screen while writing the next page. Is that possible? I am still using Word 2000 but will upgrade if that would make the difference. TIA |

If you set the zoom to an appropriate level - one that would allow two pages side-by-side - it should give you what you've described. It might just be that you've experimented and seen only the one page and thought that this wasn't working but Word will only show you one page if you haven't got on to the second page. Try opening a multi-page doc with the zoom at say 75% and see what happens or open a "New" doc and put in a page break. 'pologies if the last para offends your technical sensibilities but it's worth mentioning. -- PeterMcC If you feel that any of the above is incorrect, inappropriate or offensive in any way, please ignore it and accept my apologies. |

Oh, so that's what Print Layout View is for, eh? Shows you the print layout. Go figure. Just kidding! Yup, that does the trick perfectly! I am so used to working in Normal View, I didn't even think of clicking the Print Layout View. Sweet. 75% works great and I can see the previous page's text as I write into the next page, etc. You just helped me justify having purchased a wide screen monitor. Bob |

Bob For even more fun - Use your word window in normal fashion (View Normal) and click on Window-New Window. Adjust the two windows so you can see both and size them appropriately. Set the second window to View Print and Two pages. Now you can work in Normal mode, with large enough type to see comfortably and watch you pages change in small type so you can see the whole page. I have a whole slew of macros for navigation, two of which a Alt-p: Switches window, pages up, switches back Alt-/: Switches window, pages down, switches back So I can type away in my main window and page the other window up and down without taking my fingers off the keyboard.
