Word allows you to create split windows, each of which allows you to look at a different portion of your document. You can also use the split windows to view your document in different views. To split the window, display the View tab of the ribbon and then, in the Windows group, click the Split tool.
When you split the window, Word places a horizontal split bar on the screen. This split bar can be easily positioned by moving it with the mouse. When you click on the mouse button, the bar is placed exactly where you clicked.
If you want to cancel the split, simply press Esc before you click the mouse button to place the split bar.

The keyboard shortcut for toggling the split screen on and off is Ctrl+Alt+S. You can also return to one screen by clicking and holding the split line and swiping it to the top or bottom of the screen. The split screen is excellent for comparing text in different parts of a document, such as holding the table of contents on the top screen and scrolling through the document to ensure TOC entries and page numbers are correct.
