Answer 2

I think I know what you'e asking. In Word, just do view, Page Layout. Then, you see the ruler on the top of the word document. Simply highlight the text you want formatted, and grab the little triangle near the 6 inch mark, and drag it coser to 1 inch, the text should reformat itself to fit the margin.
Otherwise, use Excel. It's harder, I know, but type up the text in new cells, and then print without gridlines. Good luck!

Answer 3

Go to the Format Tab, then click columns. Select how many, then type with columns.
