But perhaps you just want to open a third and even a fourth document to find information or copy and paste content from one document to another. On a practical level, you don't want to juggle too many documents at the same time because then the process becomes unwieldy. Maybe you want to throw another document or two into the mix. To turn off synchronous scrolling, click the same icon in one or both windows.
Now try scrolling in one document-the other document should scroll in tandem.
In the View Ribbon, click the icon for Synchronous Scrolling (it's the second small icon to the right of Arrange All)-you'll need to activate this icon in both windows. To do this, make sure both documents are in side-by-side mode. You can also scroll through both documents at the same time. When you're done, click the Restore icon to bring back the previous two-window layout.īy default, each document window works independently, so you can scroll in one document without affecting the other. Maximize the document you want to see full-screen. Perhaps you want to work with one document full-screen but then return to the two-window layout.
