I am using Word 2003 in Windows XP.

When a document is split in two panes (by draging the split bar on the top
of the vertical scroll bar), it is not possible to see the document map. This
does not make sense because the document map is specially useful in large
documents, and that is exactly when the the spliting is more useful too.

I would like to have the document map on a left banner, independently of the
document being split or not.

You might try using Window/New Window, then Window/Arrange All. Not ideal, I
know, but it would allow you to use the Document Map in both views of the
document.

Good suggestion but unfortunately it does not work because when you
scroll the position of one window the other scrolls to the same place -
therefore defeating the purpose of splitting the document in the first
place!

Anyone got any other suggestions? Is it possible to split the document
three ways (which might allow the TOC to be used as a document map)?

Cheers in advance,

The "window/new window" and then "window/arrange all" worked for me, I have
now independent scrolling and document maps!

Hi Symmy,

I would only expect this to happen if the option Window/Compare Side by
side is activated. But if that's turned off, the windows should scroll
independently.
