In Print Layout view, select the text you want to format as columns. For specific paragraphs, you must insert section breaks before and after the paragraphs.
Click the Columns button on the Standard toolbar and select the number of columns you want.
The selected text is placed in columns.
INTRODUCTION
You can display text in multiple columns on a page in a Word document. This is convenient when you want to create a brochure or newsletter or even differentiate sections of a document. Keep in mind that you must be in Print Layout view to work with columns in your document.
TIP
Beginning Columns
A good place to begin adding a section of columns is where you have entered a section break. This adds columns from the point of the cursor down to the end of the document (or to another section break) instead of to the entire document.
TIP
Columns in the Ruler
You can tell that the columns have been added to a document by looking at the top ruler. Column separators appear between the columns.
