The Split Screen functionality in MS Word is a nifty little tool. It allows you to divide the screen in two, allowing you to work in one section of your document while viewing another section.
This can be very useful when referencing portions of your document, and moving content from one place in your document to another.
To access the Split Screen in Word 2003, the functionality and manipulation of the document is determined by your cursor, which will act as the focus for the window.
In version 2007, several features are governed by the mouse location – scrolling and zooming, which were previously controlled through the mouse, now use the mouse to determine window focus.
Accessing the Split is also a bit different. On the Ribbon, it is located under the View tab on the Window Ribbon.
I am sure you will find some documents where this feature will come in very handy sometime soon!
