Split Screen Feature in Excel and How to disable it...

Copper Contributor

I believe I have the latest (last/most current) verision of Office and Excel.  I have started using it and it seems I have clicked somewhere by mistake and activated the feature where the excel spreadsheet is in split screen representation.  I have tried a few clicks in the UI where I would assume I could get out of the split screen feature but nothing intuitive worked.  I have also tried closing and open the Excel file but it returns to the last most recent format.  Please help.

Activate the View tab of the ribbon,

Look at the Window group.

  • Is the Split button highlighted? If so, click this button to un-split the window.
  • If not: click the Freeze Panes drop-down. Is the first item Unfreeze Panes? If so, select that.
