Splitting the screen allows you to view two parts of your document in one window. No need to bother with extra windows here. When you need to view two parts of the same document, just split the screen — Moses-like — and then undo the rift when you're done. You can accomplish the same splitting-screen feat by following these steps:
1. Place the mouse cursor on the little gray thing located just above the up-arrow button on the vertical scroll bar (on the upper-right side of your document).
Oh, bother. Just see Figure 1.

When you find the sweet spot, the mouse pointer changes shape and looks like a pair of horizontal lines with arrows pointing down and up.
2. Hold down the left mouse button and drag the pointer down.
As you drag, a line drags with you and slices the document window in half. That marks the spot where the screen splits.
3. Release the mouse button.
Your screen looks something like Figure 2.

- Each section of the document can be manipulated separately and scrolled up or down. Even so, you're still viewing only one document; changes you make in one of the copies are immediately included in the others.
- This feature is useful for cutting and pasting text or graphics between parts of the same document.
 | - The fastest way to split a window is to point the mouse at the little gray area and double-click. It's also the fastest way to undo a split screen: Put the mouse pointer on the little gray area and double-click.

- You can also choose Window-->Split to split your screen and Window-->Remove Split to undo it. (The Remove Split command can be seen if you click the "show more" arrows at the bottom of the Window menu.)
