I’ve been reviewing Word documents recently, and sometimes I’m halfway down the document and have to check on something that was in an earlier part of the file.

I could scroll up, to check the text, then scroll back down to the current spot, but that’s not too efficient.

It’s easier, and more efficient, to split the Word window, so I can see two sections at the same time.

To split the window, you can choose Window|Split, then click where you want the split.

Another way to create a split it to point to the Split marker, at the top of the Vertical Scroll Bar, and drag it to the position you want.

Remove the Split

To remove the Split marker, double-click on it.
