Creating New Windows

If you want to work on two different parts of the same document at the same time, there are a couple of different ways you can do so in Word. One way is to open a second window. You do this by simply choosing New Window from the Window menu. Word opens a new window (you can see it listed at the bottom of the Window menu). You can then use each window to display and edit different parts of the same document.

Notice that each new window you create has not only the document name in the title bar, but also a number that indicates the actual window number. Thus, you could have MyDoc:1 and MyDoc:2. These are the same way that the window names appear at the bottom of the Window menu.

Each window created in this way just provides a different way to look at the exact same document. This means that any change you make in one window is automatically and immediately made in the other window as well.
