Split Screen in OpenOffice; kinda
I posted about missing some favorite features in OpenOffice.org Writer. As I was writing my post, I found a workaround via the OpenOffice.org Writer Forums that gives some semblance of the Word split screen feature.
In Writer, select Window > New. The document opens up in a new window, which gives you the same document in two Writer windows that you can then tile. It’s workable, not elegant.
