3) Hold down the left mouse button. A gray line appears, running across the
page. Drag the mouse downwards and this line follows.
4) Release the mouse button and the screen splits into two views, each with its
own vertical scroll bar. You can scroll the upper and lower parts independently.
Notice in Figure 103, the Beta and the A0 values are in the upper part of the window
and other calculations are in the lower part. Thus you can make changes to the Beta
and A0 values and watch their affects on the calculations in the lower half of the
window.
Tip
You can also split the screen using a menu command. Click in a cell
immediately below and to the right of where you wish the screen to be
split, and choose Window > Split.
Splitting the screen vertically
To split the screen vertically:
1) Move the mouse pointer into the horizontal scroll bar at the bottom of the
screen and place it over the small button on the right with the black triangle.
Immediately to the right of this button is a thick black line.
