| When you want to view another part of your document
without losing your place, split the Microsoft Word document window in two.
The split box in allows you to split the document window into two panes so that you can view different parts of a document at the same time. In addition to viewing, you can add or delete text in each section, cut text from one section and paste it to another section, or use format painter to copy formats from one section of a document to the other. Its just as if you were working with two different documents. The split box is especially useful when you work with long documents. It is simple to use, effective, and it may dramatically improve your performance. |

Become familiar with the option that work best for you and how to configure Word. Certainly using split box is a useful tip isn't it? |
