Split your screen using only the keyboard (Word 97/2000/2002/v. X/2003)

In a recent tip, we showed you how to split your Word document
window by selecting Window | Split from the menu bar or by
double-clicking on the rectangle above Word's vertical scrollbar.
An astute Word Tips subscriber, Wendy Geddes, pointed out that
there is a way to split the document window without leaving the
comfort of your keyboard! Here's the new method. Press
[Alt][Ctrl]S ([command][option]S in v. X) to create a movable
horizontal line. Use the up and down arrow keys to move the line,
and press [Enter] when you've got it in the right place (not
available in v. X). The screen splits, and you can continue
editing your document. To remove the split, press [Alt][Shift]C
([command][option]S in v. X). Thanks, Wendy!
