Split Screens

You can use what is known as 'Split Screens' to display two different parts of the same document at the same time.
You can split your screen into two separate sections. This allows you to view different areas of a large document at the same time.
This can be done by selecting (Window > Split). The split will occur horizontally in the middle of the application window.
You can only use the split screen to view two parts of the same document. You cannot use it to view two different documents.
If you are working on a large document, then you may sometimes find it useful to split the window. Splitting the window lets you view two portions of the same document at the same time.

To split the window, display the View tab of the ribbon and then, in the Window group, click the Split tool. When you split the window, Word places a horizontal split bar on the screen. This split bar can be easily positioned by moving it with the mouse. When you click on the mouse button, the bar is placed exactly where you clicked.
