I figure this change came about because nearly all PC monitors these days are widescreen.<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\nTo see whether your copy of Word 2016 is updated or not, click the View tab. Look for the Page Movement group, which is new and illustrated in Figure 1.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_8938\" style=\"width: 560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8938\" src=\"http:\/\/www.wambooli.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/0424-fig1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"142\" class=\"size-full wp-image-8938\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wambooli.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/0424-fig1.png 550w, https:\/\/www.wambooli.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/0424-fig1-300x77.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-8938\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Figure 1. The new Page Movement group on the View tab.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Word didn&#8217;t feature the two Page Movement buttons prior to this update; all movement through a document was vertical. That&#8217;s the traditional way computers have always displayed paginated information, top-to-bottom scrolling vertically.<\/p>\n<p>The Side-to-Side option presents pages flowing right-to-left. This presentation is ideal for a widescreen monitor, where it&#8217;s natural to view two pages side-by-side, as illustrated in Figure 2.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_8942\" style=\"width: 560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8942\" src=\"http:\/\/www.wambooli.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/0424-fig2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"353\" class=\"size-full wp-image-8942\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wambooli.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/0424-fig2.png 550w, https:\/\/www.wambooli.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/0424-fig2-300x193.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-8942\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Figure 2. Word using the Side-to-Side page movement presentation, Print Layout view.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>When the toothpick cursor passes the bottom of the left-hand page, it hops to the top of the right-hand page. Then, at the bottom of the right-hand page, you see horizontal scrolling, with all the pages shuffled to the left.<\/p>\n<p>Use the horizontal scrollbar to page through the document right-to-left, with pages flipping one atop the other. It&#8217;s kind of cool to watch.<\/p>\n<p>The new Side-to-Side command, as well as the Page Movement group, is available only when viewing a document in Page Layout mode. It&#8217;s not required nor does it make any sense to use this feature in other viewing modes.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, I&#8217;m impressed with this improvement, which is logical and useful. It&#8217;s just kind of silly to view and edit only one page of a document when most people use Word on a widescreen monitor with the window maximized. Microsoft has recognized this setup and addressed it quite well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Word 2016 has yet another update with the addition of a new way to view documents.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[9],"class_list":["post-8921","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-main","tag-word"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wambooli.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8921","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wambooli.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wambooli.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wambooli.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wambooli.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=8921"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.wambooli.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8921\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8943,"href":"https:\/\/www.wambooli.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8921\/revisions\/8943"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wambooli.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=8921"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wambooli.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=8921"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wambooli.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=8921"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
