FAQ

What should I do if I cannot scroll panes independently after splitting the window?

  1. Click the pane you want to work in so that it becomes the active pane.
  2. Use that pane's scroll bar or the mouse wheel to scroll.
  3. 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?

  1. Move the pointer to the horizontal or vertical split bar.
  2. Drag the split bar to a more suitable position.
  3. 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?

  1. Split Window divides the current worksheet into multiple independently scrollable viewing areas.
  2. Freeze Panes is usually used to keep specific rows or columns visible while scrolling.
  3. 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.
