Window Menu

The Window menu provides a home for all menu commands that are window related.

Zoom Window, Minimize Window, Bring All to Front

These commands work exactly as they do in Excel.

New Window

Opens a new window on the same file that’s currently open. That way, you can view two (or more) places in the same file at the same time.

Arrange All

Arranges all open windows so that you can see each one. They’re stacked vertically. This makes it easy to drag items between them.

Split

Splits the currently active Word window into two independently scrolling panes. If the window is already split, this menu command changes to say Remove Split, which removes the split screen effect.

Window List

The last item on the Window menu is a list of currently open Word documents. You can switch between them by selecting names from this menu.
