What are the main benifits of using the Split function?
 

I'm trying to figure out when I might use the Widnow = Split Screen. I'm
just looking for examples of when someone might use this over say Window =
Freeze Panes.

Thanks

A split screen gives you two separate views of the same sheet, each view
scrollable independent of the other.

I prefer Freeze Panes personally.

If I need two views I would use WindowNew Window and WindowArrange.

That way you can see different sheets in same workbook or in other workbooks.

Each of those two windows can also have a split or freeze panes so you get a
whole lot of viewing options.

How can I freeze the first two rows (both have headings information) in Excel
2007?
