Split Panes in Microsoft Office Excel and Word 2010

Many of our offices are going paperless theses day to save on printing costs, but there are some things that we just need to see side by side without having to scroll to different locations in your document.  So here is a neat trick that will fulfill both of those needs.  In Word and Excel you can split the panes to view opposite ends of a document on the same screen. First, go to the View tab on the ribbon and in the Window group select the Split option.  In Word, once you have clicked the Spilt option a gray line will appear on your screen, move it to where you would like the split on your window and click. In Excel, your window will automatically split into four different sections.  To switch between panes you can simply click into your desired pane, or you can also press F6 to change between panes.
