Summary: How to view two different portions of your document. (This tip works with Microsoft Word 6, Word 95, Word 97, Word 2000, Word 2002, and Word 2003.)
Word allows you to create split windows, each of which allows you to look at a different portion of your document. You can also use the split windows to view your document in different views. To create split windows, just choose Split from the Window menu. Word places a horizontal split bar on the screen, which can be easily positioned by moving the mouse. When you click on the mouse button, the bar is placed exactly where you clicked.
If you want to cancel the split, simply press ESC before you click the mouse button to place the split bar. Otherwise you will need to remove the split window.
