Split view of module?

I've copied some code from an Access website, and it's basically a plate of
spaghetti, even though it does the job. I find myself scrolling up and down
between function calls and the function, only to find that by the time I
locate the function I forgot what I was looking for. Is there a way to
split the pane so you can look at 2 pieces of code in the same module
concurrently?

Thanks;

Amy
 
Some tips:

ctrl-up arrow - jump to previous sub/function
ctrl-down-arrow - jump to next sub/function

If you place your cursor on a sub, or function name and hit shift-f2, you
jump to that routine...

if you go ctrl-shift-f2, and you un-cork back the way you came. The above
lets you effectively ski through your code with great ease.

Another trick is to go edit-> bookmarks->toggle book marks....

Now...browse to wherever...gab he code..and then go edit->bookmarks->next
bookmark (I use the keyboard shortcuts to do this).

However, you can also split the code window into two as you ask...also
(window->split).

Now that you know about ctrl-up arrow, and ctrl-down arrow...that help with
the split window feature a lot...
 
Thanks!
