View a document using multiple views

Word

One of the most under used features of Microsoft Word (and many other Windows programs) is the ability to show different views of one document at the same time.

Each view maintains different settings so for example in one view you can show the Print layout, Field Codes and Hidden Text whilst another view shows the Outline layout, Field Results and hides Hidden Text. If you edit text in one view you are actually changing the document so all the other views will be automatically updated to show the same changes.

To split a window select the Split command from the Window menu (View ribbon in Word 2007) or click and drag the small horizontal bar at the top of the vertical scroll bar. This will split the current window into two views. Each view can be scrolled independently to show a different part of the document.

To create a new window, select the New Window command from the Window menu (View ribbon in Word 2007). This will create a completely new window for the active document.

Tedds for Word

When calculating in Tedds for Word what is shown in the active view will change so that Tedds can select the text required for calculating and update the results. Other views will be updated but the part of the document shown will not change. By using multiple views you can refer to different parts of your document whilst Tedds is calculating.

Tedds

Tedds also allows you to open multiple views of the same document. To create a new window, select the New Window command from the Window menu. This will create a completely new window of the active document. You can then use the Tile Horizontally and Tile Vertically commands on the Window menu to arrange the Windows.
