![]() Turn on Live Word Count (in the Window section) and click OK. To turn it on, choose Word → Preferences in the Preferences dialog box, click the View button. If this part of the status bar is blank, it’s probably because your word count feature is turned off. If you highlight some text in your document, the first number tells you how many words are in the selected passage. The second number shows the total number of words in your document, and the first indicates which word has your insertion point, as counted from the first word of the document. The idea, of course, is to provide you with a quick way to jump to a different page of your document without scrolling. To reconstitute your document, just close the extra windows.Ĭlick anywhere in the Pages segment of the status bar to open the Go To tab of the “Find and Replace” dialog box, described on Find. The title bar identifies the windows as “Introduction:1,” “Introduction:2,” and so on. ![]() You can place two windows side by side and work on the first and last pages of your document at the same time, or you can create five windows, each scrolled to a different region of your manuscript. There’s almost no limit to the number of windows you can create in this way. When you use File → Save, you save all the windows. Therefore, any change you make in one window appears in both windows simultaneously. The new windows are different peepholes into the same document -you haven’t created a new document. Each can be in a different Word view too (one in Outline view, one in Draft, and so on). However, you can get these effects using the Window menu (see Figure 1-6).Ĭhoosing Window → New Window creates a clone of your document window, which you can scroll, position, or zoom independently. You can’t split a window into more than two panes-nor create vertical panes-using the Split box described above. To restore a split window back to a single one, drag the resize bar all the way to the top of the window, double-click the resize bar, or press Option-⌘-S again. To switch between panes, you can use the mouse, or just press F6, which acts as a toggle key to the other pane and back again. Like the scroll bars, the Page Up, Page Down, and arrow keys work as usual within each pane, meaning you can’t use them to travel from one pane to the next. Once you’ve split the window, you can drag the light gray bar between the two panes up or down to adjust their relative sizes. (The bottom half of the window disappears, even if it contained the insertion point-a potentially alarming behavior.) To adjust their relative proportions, just drag the resize bar (the gray dividing line between the panes) up or down.ĭouble-click this dividing line a second time to restore the window to its single-pane status. Doing so gives you two evenly split panes of the window. ![]() It’s often faster to simply double-click the Split box. Anyway, writing down your password is easier.) ![]() (You could probably find a few thousand Internet hackers that could handle it for you, but that’s a different book. They can’t help you open the protected document, and even Recover Text From Any File doesn’t work on these files. If you lose the password, don’t bother calling Microsoft. If you use one of the password methods, write the password down and keep it somewhere safe. Re-enter the password when Word asks for it, click OK, and your document is protected. On the Security panel, type a password in the “Password to open” box and press Return (or the mouse-happy can click OK). In the Save As dialog box, click Options, click the Show All button, and then click the Security button. This highest level of document protection requires readers to enter a password before they can even open the document. Word asks the forgetful among us to retype the password. In the Security dialog box, type a password in the Password to Modify box. To protect a document this way, choose File → Save As click Options, click the Show All button, and then click the Security button. People you give the password to can edit the document and save the changes just as you can for everyone else, the document opens as read-only. This trick makes Word ask for a password at the moment the document is opened. Click Save or press Return again to complete the process. On the Security panel, turn on “Read-only recommended,” and press Return. To save a file this way, choose File → Save As click Options, click the Show All button, and then click the Security button. The original, read-only file remains intact. That person can make changes, but can only save the file under a new name. When someone tries to open a document protected in this manner, a dialog box politely suggests that he use the read-only option.
