= SUMMARY =

Although Microsoft Word for the Macintosh cannot split a window vertically, it can simulate a vertically split window in order to allow scrolling left to right. To accomplish this, do the following:


 * 1) From the Window menu, choose New Window. This command creates a second document with a colon and a number following the original document name.
 * 2) Size the new window to half the width of the screen.
 * 3) Activate the original window, and resize it so that it is also half the width of the screen, and then move the window so that it appears beside the newer window. At this point, any editing of either window will apply to both sides since each window is simply a different view of the same document.
