How to split a page to 4 quarters in Word document?

In some cases, we need to split a page to four quarters to place texts in a document as below screenshot shown. However, there is no built-in function can help you directly handle this job. Here in this article, I introduce a round-about way to finish this job in Word.

Split page to 4 quarters with a table

To split a page to 4 parts, you can insert a table to deal with the job.

1. So if you are working on a document in Word 2013, and notice something like a split screen that displays two different sections of your document, then you might be looking for a way to disable that setting. Our guide below will show you how to remove the split view in Word 2013. How to Exit the Split View in Word 2013.
2. With split-screen functionality, you can have 2, 3, or 4 windows open and visible simultaneously. So split screen is a feature to display two or more programs on the same screen without resizing.

Press Windows key + A On the Resulting Flyout, if you cannot see the Tablet Mode Button, click 'Expand' If the Tablet Mode Button is not gray, click it so it becomes gray This will turn off tablet mode.

1. Place the cursor at left-top of the page, then click Insert > Table, select 2x2 Table.

2. The table has been inserted, then drag right-corner of the table to resize it as you need.

3. Insert texts into the columns and rows separately.

4. Select the whole table, under Table Tools, click Design > Border > No Border.

Now the page looks like to split into 4 quarters.

  Th final result looks a little clunky for my needs, which is for four CD inserts per A4 page. In word, Columns> Orientate to suit, (which in my case is landscape) > line space between table > result: 4 columns without visible lines in between. Works a treat!

Microsoft Word Split Screen

This morning I was working with a long document in Microsoft Word, and I wanted to compare something I’d written on page 43 with something that written back on page 2. I was frequently jumping back and forth.
The easiest way to handle such tasks is to split the screen so that you can display page 2 on the top half, and page 43 on the bottom half, and then work with whatever half you want.

It’s not 100% keyboard only, but try this:

1. Press Alt+Ctrl+S, and a split cursor appears.
2. Press Up Arrow or Down Arrow until the split is where you want it, then press Enter. The screen is split.
3. Now, scroll to wherever you want (and remember the Ctrl+G or F5 shortcut that lets you go to whatever page you want right away). You scroll in one half, while the other half of the split displays the other portion of the document.
4. I don’t know of a keyboard method to change which part of the split you work with, so you’ll need to use the mouse to click in the top portion or bottom portion as needed if you want to make edits.
5. When you’re all done with the split, press Alt+Shift+C, and the split is removed.

Note that a split is really just a different way of viewing the same document — you only have one copy. Any changes you make in the top portion are immediately reflected in the bottom portion, and vice versa.
