Dear NG:

I thought I remembered seeing a hack somewhere which described a way to add
a 2nd split bar to a worksheet.

Is anyone aware of this or was I hallucinating.

Thanks,

-Kevin

You can divide your spreadsheet into 4 scrollable regions, although each
section is not totally independently scrollable. To do a quad-split, do the
following...

1) At the top of the vertical scroll bar, there is a small rectangle (it
almost looks like a min-button)... click and drag it down to the middle area
of the grid. Your spreadsheet should now be in two scrollable sections.

2) At the right side of the horizontal scroll bar is a similar looking
rectangle... click and drag it to the middle of the grid. Your spreadsheet
will now have four scrollable regions.

Is that what you were referring to?

Rick

Rick,

Thanks for your response.

No, I think what I saw was a registry hack that would allow 2 vertical
split bars or 2 horizontal split bars. Creating a 3 pane window.

tyou can also add new windows (View-new window) so have multiple winows open
for the same spread sheet side by side and above each other

I'm not familiar with the registry hack you are thinking about then.
However, it seems a simple horizontal split coupled with a New Window view
as 'bj' points out in elsewhere in this thread might meet your needs without
having to mess around in the registry.
