FAQ
What should I do if I cannot scroll panes independently after splitting the window?
- Click the pane you want to work in so that it becomes the active pane.
- Use that pane's scroll bar or the mouse wheel to scroll.
- If the layout is still inconvenient, adjust the split bar position and continue reviewing the sheet.
What should I do if the split position is wrong?
- Move the pointer to the horizontal or vertical split bar.
- Drag the split bar to a more suitable position.
- If the current layout still does not fit, remove the split first, select a different cell, and split the window again.
What is the difference between Split Window and Freeze Panes in WPS Sheets?
- Split Window divides the current worksheet into multiple independently scrollable viewing areas.
- Freeze Panes is usually used to keep specific rows or columns visible while scrolling.
- If you need to view multiple areas at the same time, use Split Window first. If you need to keep headers visible, use a freeze-related feature.
