Is this possible to do in Word
In Excel, you can select "freeze panes" so you can scroll to different cells
and still se the first one. Is it possible to do that to a table in Word? If so, how? |

You can split the window horizontally as in Excel (Window Split) but you
cannot freeze the panes as in Excel - and you cannot split the window vertically. However, splitting the window horizontally may help - you can display the header row in the topmost pane and work in the bottom pane. To return to a single pane: double-click the split bar or drag the split bar to the top or bottom of the window or select Window Remove Split. Note that if a table spans more than one page, you can have the first row(s) in the table repeated in the top of each page: select the row(s), then select Table Heading Rows Repeat. -- Regards Lene Fredborg DocTools - Denmark www.thedoctools.com Document automation - add-ins, macros and templates for Microsoft Word "Douceur" wrote: In Excel, you can select "freeze panes" so you can scroll to different cells and still se the first one.

I was looking to do it vertically because we are using landscape format so
the width is too long for me to see the other side. I have to keep going back and forth and then lose track of what I'm doing.

Maybe you could use the "Compare side by side" function. If you select Window
New Window, you will open the same document in another window. Then select Window Compare Side By Side and select the "old" window in the dialog box that opens (the windows are numbered (1) and (2)). You can then arrange the windows so that the leftmost window shows the left column(s) while you work in the rightmost window. A small toolbar, "Compare Side by Side", automatically opens when you select "Compare Side by Side". The leftmost icon in that toolbar lets you scroll synchronously (seems to be selected by default). -- Regards Lene Fredborg DocTools - Denmark www.thedoctools.com Document automation - add-ins, macros and templates for Microsoft Word "Douceur" wrote: I was looking to do it vertically because we are using landscape format so the width is too long for me to see the other side.

Unfortunately, I'm not getting the choice of " Compare Side By Side" in the
Window part. I'm going to try to look for it through all of the format stuff. Again Thank you "Lene Fredborg" wrote: Maybe you could use the "Compare side by side" function.

I am using Word 2003. I don't know which version of Word you are using but I
don't think the "Compare side by side" command is found in earlier versions of Word. -- Regards Lene Fredborg DocTools - Denmark www.thedoctools.com Document automation - add-ins, macros and templates for Microsoft Word "Douceur" wrote: Unfortunately, I'm not getting the choice of " Compare Side By Side" in the Window part.

For word 2000-2003, and windows XP or later.
Multiple windows can be opened for a single word document. I don't know if there is a upper limit to the number of windows. Window 1 for document 1 could be split and zoomed to page width, while window 2 for document 2 could show full page. Each window is completely seperate, having its own scroll bars, toolbars, menus, etc. Try opening a new window, then using the tiling features of the windows desktop to place the windows side by side. Preliminary: On the word tools menu, select options. On the view tab, ensure that the windows in taskbar option is checked. This option determines if word or windows manages the document windows. [From Word Help: Windows in Taskbar- Displays an icon on the Microsoft Windows taskbar for each open window in a Microsoft Office program. Clearing this check box places a single icon for each open program on the taskbar.] Open a new document window. In word, click the windows menu, select new window. Now click on the MS-Windows task bar (at the bottom of your display). You should get a pop-up menu, Select tile windows vertically or horizontally as you prefer. If you have several things open at once then you will minimize all windows first, then click on just the two word document windows. then use the taskbar to tile horiz or vertically. -- Tom Conrad === "Lene Fredborg" wrote: I am using Word 2003.

Hi Douceur.
Not sure if you're even looking at this post any longer, but in case you are, Lene gave you the right answer. Split the windows. There was just one additional detail: each window, top and bottom, will have its own scroll bar. So, even though the split is horizontal, just scroll all the way to the left in one window, and all the way to the right in the second window. That will allow you to see both ends of your document.
