At times you might need to view two different parts of a document at the same time. By choosing the "View | Split" menu command, or clicking the Split button of the View toolbar
, you can split the document window into two parts (panes) either horizontally or vertically. Each pane can display a different part of the document:
Splitting the document window is useful when you want to copy/paste text from one location of the document to another, or when you need to refer to one part of the document while working in another part.
You can resize the panes by dragging the dividing line with the mouse:
You can specify a different zoom and view mode for each pane. You can also select different document fragments in each pane.
Only one pane is active at a time. To switch to the currently inactive pane, simply click it. Alternatively, you can assign a hot key to the corresponding command in the "Tools | Customize | Hot Keys..." dialog:
When the Split mode is on for the active document, Atlantis displays the corresponding context toolbar:
