More Skills 11 Split and Arrange Windows
䉴
In Word, you can split the screen, which lets you look at two different parts of the same
document at the same time. This is useful in a long document, for example, when you are
writing a summary.
䉴
You can also view two different documents side by side to make comparisons between the
two, use one as a source of information, or even copy text from one document to the other.
To complete this document, you will need the following files:
䊏 w01_Branch_Improvements
䊏 w01_Branch_Closures
You will save your documents as:
䊏 Lastname_Firstname_w01_Branch_Snip1
䊏 Lastname_Firstname_w01_Branch_Snip2
