More Skills 11 Split Windows and Arrange Windows
Word enables you to split the screen, which lets you look at two different parts of the same
document at the same time. This is useful in a long document, for example, when you are
writing a summary.
You can also view two different documents side by side to make comparisons between the
two, use one as a source of information, or even copy text from one document to the other.
To complete this document, you will need the following files:
w01_Staffing_Memo
w01_Shareholders
You will save your document as:
w01_Staffing_Your_Name
w01_Split_Snip_Your_Name
w01_Two_Windows_Snip_Your_Name
1. Start Word. Locate and open the file w01_Staffing_Memo. Save the file in your Word
Chapter 1 folder as w01_Staffing_Your_Name and then add the file name to the footer.
If necessary, turn the formatting marks off.
2. On the Ribbon, click the View tab, and then in the Window group, click the Split button.
Compare your screen with Figure 1.
A split bar displays near the middle of the document window, with a pointer on
the bar. The split bar indicates the location of the border between the windows.
