Advanced Spreadsheets – Split Bars

Split a window. Move and remove split bars.

Splitting a window into multiple instances can help us in viewing and operating with multiple spreadsheets at the same time. To split a window, Click on the row header below the rows where you want to split the screen horizontally or click on the column header to right of the columns where you want to split the screen vertically. After this, click on ‘Window’ from the main menu bar. From the resulting drop-down, click on ‘Split’. This will split the window into different portions.

To move the split bars, hover the mouse on top of the split bar. The shape of the cursor will change to an icon with arrows on both the sides of two small parallel lines. When this icon gets displayed, click on the split bar and without releasing the mouse button move the icon to the left or right or to the top or bottom. This way you can move the split bars.

To remove the slip bars, just click on ‘Window’ from the main menu bar, and from the resulting drop-down, click on ‘Split’ to deselect it. This will remove the split bars.
