vertical screen split needed, within same doc
Hi, Is there any way to split the screen vertically, to view two pages
of the same Word document side by side? I know about the horizontal split screen function in Word, but it doesn't do me much good. (The reason is, I've got a 24 inch LCD monitor, perfect for viewing 2 full pages of the same document side by side, but with the horizontal split screen I can only see parts of 4 pages, not all of 2.) Only thing I could find in this user group was some code that someone suggested in 1999, I wouldn't even know how to use that. Thanks for any help, |

Switch to Print Layout view and then, on the Standard toolbar, click
the Zoom button, and choose the "Two pages" view. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Tom Yang" wrote in message oups.com...

vertical screen split needed, within same doc
Sorry, my question was not stated clearly.
To see all of 2 consecutive pages is not a problem: I can do that in the ordinary view (without going to print layout), thanks to my big screen (MS Word expands to show 2 or more consecutive pages). My problem is, I need to see 2 pages that are far apart, not consecutive. Am working with a 45-page document, where I want to e.g. look at page 14 and also page 33 at the same time. A vertical split screen, like the horizontal split screen, would be great for this.

A vertical split screen, like the horizontal split screen, would be great for this. Also, I'd need to avoid having to go to print layout view. The reason I need to see 2 non-consecutive pages is that I am editing them, and editing is difficult in print layout view. Thanks, Tom Yang |

Does the following help? First create an additional window for the
document: On the Window menu, click New Window. Then right-click the taskbar and choose to arrange the windows as desired. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Tom Yang" wrote in message ups.com...

Stefan, You are absolutely right, it does work! I cannot believe I've
lumbered these years & never actually tried that! It had occurred to me to open a new window but I assumed it would have to saved as a different document. It's not, it's still the same doc.... Thanks so much!!! No need for the vertical split now. (sorry I deleted my previous posts as my real email address was showing but maybe there's no way to not let it show.....) Tom |

Oh, thanks for the tip. Alas, at our firm here in Seoul, Korea we're
still using clunky Word 2000. With 2000 there's the added headache of not being able to open a new view within the same Word window. I notice that a macro someone posted once for an 'MDI toggle' doesn't seem to be available any more..... thanks, Tom Yang |
