When you are reading a long document in Word, dragging the mouse for a long time can make your fingers uncomfortable, especially in winter, everybody wants to put hands in the coat pockets. So how can we achieve it? Here's a simple guide.

On the View tab, in the Window group, click View Side by Side. In each workbook window, click the sheet that you want to compare. To scroll both worksheets at the same time, click Synchronous Scrolling in the Window group on the View tab. NOTE: This option is available only when View Side by Side is turned on. Last week I introduced you to Synchronous Scrolling in Microsoft Word while viewing two documents. As promised, this week's post will focus on performing that task in Microsoft Excel. View two worksheets in the same workbook side by side. On the View tab, in the Window group, click New Window.
