How-to Guide

1. Open another window for the same document

Entry: View > New Window

1. Open the WPS Writer document you want to work with.
2. Click the View tab on the top menu bar.
3. In the Window group, click New Window.
4. Confirm that a second independent window for the same document appears.

Success Criteria

• Interface result: Two independent windows of the same document are visible.
• What you can do next: You can scroll, read, and edit in either window.
• No side effect: Closing one window does not immediately remove the document content from the other open window.

Tips While Using

• Common mistake: If no document is open first, you cannot use this feature for same-document viewing.
• Environment note: This workflow applies to WPS Writer document windows.

2. Arrange windows for side-by-side viewing

Entry: View > New Window; View > Arrange Windows

1. First open another window for the current document.
2. Return to the View tab.
3. Click Arrange Windows and choose a suitable layout.
4. Scroll each window to a different part of the document for comparison.

Success Criteria

• Interface result: Two windows can be displayed on screen at the same time.
• What you can do next: You can review different paragraphs or sections in separate windows.

Tips While Using

• Common mistake: If you open another window but do not adjust the layout, the windows may overlap.
• Environment note: On a smaller display, each window will have less visible space.

3. Check synced edits across windows

Entry: View > New Window

1. Open two windows for the current document.
2. Edit text in one of the windows.
3. Switch to the other window and go to the same content area.
4. Confirm that the updated content is shown there as well.

Success Criteria

• Interface result: The updated content is visible in the other window.
• What you can do next: You can continue editing the same document from either window.
• No side effect: The edits still belong to one original document instead of creating two separate files.

Tips While Using

• Common mistake: If the two windows are showing different parts of the file, scroll to the same paragraph before checking the result.
