Use Document Map & Split Window at same time
It would seem to me that the two features above naturally go hand in
hand. I normally split a window so that I can access widely separated parts of a document at the same time. However, if I split a window and access the Document Map to navigate to the far away section, the windows become unsplit. Is there a way to get both, or is this simply something that Word doesn't do? (Word 2003, Windows XP). |

For what it's worth, Split Window and the Document Map are mutually
exclusive in Word 2007 as well. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Paul" wrote in message ... It would seem to me that the two features above naturally go hand in hand.

Pity...makes one pine for the LaTeX days, when you could use a multi-
window powerhouse like Vim. Mind you, it didn't have lots of that Word does of course.

Use Document Map & Split Window at same time
While not a solution for splitting a document vertically, you can open the
same document in a new window (Window | New Window) and then use Window | Compare Side by Side; you can display the DM in both windows. Since both windows are a view of the same document, you can edit in either one, and the edit will be applied to the other. By default, they scroll synchronously, but you can disable synchronous scrolling by clicking the button on the Compare Side by Side toolbar and thus see different portions of the document. Naturally, this will work best on a widescreen monitor! -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "Paul" wrote in message ...

Lacking a widescreen monitor, you can use Draft view (and specify that text
should wrap to the document window). -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...

Of course, I should have written *Normal* view, since this thread is about
Word 2003. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Stefan Blom" wrote in message ...
