Thread: Use panes to simplify data entry

It's amazing how often you need to refer to another part of the same document while typing. One approach is to plant bookmarks at strategic locations and use the Go To command on the Edit menu to switch between them. Much simpler is to split the Word window into two panes so you can see what you're typing and what you're reading at the same time. To split the window, grab the tiny bar that's almost hidden at the top of the vertical scroll bar,just above. the up arrow, and drag it downwards. To return to a single-pane window, double-click the dividing bar.
