Re: [libreoffice-users] Split Screen in Writer?

Hi :)
This method is not as neat as it is in Calc but open your document and then;

Windows (menu at the very top of the screen hidden along the same line
as the time&date (errr, that is more complicated than on any other
platform thanks to the weird UI in Ubuntu))

then

"Open new window"

Err, they open kinda on top of each other but just grab the
'title-bar' and move it fast against the left or right-hand side of
the screen so that the mouse kinda bangs up against the side or even
overshoots a bit.  As with many OSes these days (excluding Xp) that
makes that window fill half the screen.  Grab the other window and
bang it against the other side of the screen to get them both
side-by-side.  You can now scroll one without affecting the other
(except that text you type into one of them appears in the other (if
you can scroll to where the new text should be)).

Regards from
Tom :)
