It is sometimes beneficial to view two different parts of the same document or multiple documents at the same time. You can accomplish this by working with multiple windows. The following steps will show you how to split the window the document is in, add a new window and then arrange the windows such that you can view them side by side, and arrange windows to view multiple different documents simultaneously.

This feature works the same in all modern versions of Microsoft Word: 2010, 2013, and 2016. Splitting a Window to View Different Parts of One Document in One WindowSplitting a window enables you to view different parts of one document at one time. To split a window:
Open a Second Window to View One Document in Two WindowsIt is possible to have the same document open in two different windows at the same time. You can then view them side by side, which makes it easy to see different parts of the document at the same time. Depending on what you are trying to accomplish, this is often more efficient than splitting the document. To view your document in two windows simultaneously:

The basics of the Word windowLet's briefly review the basic parts of the Word XP window before we move onto word processing. Shown below is the Microsoft Word default window. When Word is launched, a new blank document—or default window—opens in Print Layout view. Although window elements are fully explained in our Windows course, here is a brief explanation of the Word window. Title barThis displays the document name followed by a program name. Menu barThis contains a list of options to manage and customize documents. Standard toolbarThis contains shortcut buttons for the most popular commands. Formatting toolbarThis contains buttons used for formatting. RulerThis is used to set margins, indents, and tabs. Insertion pointThis is the location where the next character appears. End-of-document markerThis indicates the end of the document. HelpThis provides quick access to Help topics. Scroll barsThese are used to view parts of the document. Status barThis displays the position of the insertion point and working mode buttons. Task paneThis provides easy access to commonly used menus, buttons, and tools. View buttonsThese change the layout view of the document to normal, web layout, print layout, and outline view. Office AssistantThis links to the Microsoft Office Help feature. Change in viewIn an effort to provide various ways in which to view your work in progress and remain organized, Word XP offers five views for your document. The five views are normal, print layout, web layout, outline, and full screen. Normal view is best used for typing, editing, formatting and proofreading. It provides a maximum amount of space without rulers or page numbers cluttering your view. Web Layout view shows what your text will look like on a webpage. Print Layout view shows what your document will look like when it is printed. Under Print Layout view, you can see all elements of the page. Print Preview shows you this as well. Outline view is used to create and edit outlines. Outline view only shows the headings in a document. This view is particularly handy when making notes. Full Screen view displays ONLY the document you are working on. All other pieces of the Word window are removed except for one button that allows you to close the view screen. Changing your document view:
Drop-down menusEach Office XP program features a menu bar. The menu bar is made up of different menus. Each menu contains commands that enable you to work within the program. If you have used a previous version of Microsoft Word, you may notice that the menu bar in Word XP operates slightly differently than before. Word XP uses drop-down menus that initially display commands users most often need. Operating the new drop-down menusTo open a menu:
Using the task paneThe task pane is new in Word XP. When opened, the task pane will appear on the right side of the Word window. The task pane provides easy access to commonly used menus, buttons, and tools. By default, the task pane will appear when Word XP is first launched. If you do not see your task pane, you can view it by either selecting certain commands or by manually opening it. To open the task pane:
Along the top bar of the task pane, you should see small backward and forward buttons on the left, as well as a down arrow on the right. To view different task panes available to you, click the down arrow. Once you have opened different task panes, you can navigate them by clicking the left and right arrow button on the left. To close your task pane, click the X symbol on the far-right of the bar. Challenge!
