Splitting a window is a useful feature available in Word 2010. By splitting the document window into two separate panes, you can view and edit two separate parts of the document at the same time. For example, you can work with the first section of a large document in the top pane and the last section in the bottom, and quickly jump between the two panes by clicking the mouse, or by tapping F6 to cycle between the two panes, the Ribbon, and the Status Bar.
Word 2010 lets you change the zoom level in the two panes, so that you can view multiple pages in one pane while viewing full-size text in the other.
You can split the window from the View tab in the Window group by selecting Split (or Remove Split to restore a single window), or by dragging the splitter bar at the very top of the vertical scroll bar.
