how do i put my writing into columns on microsoft word?

Question

Am trying to put a page of writing into columns on microsoft word - how would i do this?

thanks :-)

Answer 1

The best way is to use the table and there is an option of not printing the lines while printing. So it can be seen as columns.

Answer 2

You will see a ruler across the top of the page. Click on it & it will place a TAB pointer.

Place 1 TAB pointer where you need each column to start.

Now, when you press the TAB key, it jumps to the next column position.

Click the ruler again to remove TAB matkers when your done

FYI, TAB is short for tabulate :)

hope that helps

If it's for word two here is how it reads off of my study paper from my computer class on how to do columns-step by step: 1. Click on the format menu. 2.Click on columns. 3.Choose the number of columns you want for your document. 4. In the "Apply to" box, click on "this point forward". 5.Click ok.

Answer 4

click on format, columns. Then choose the number of columns and press OK.

Answer 5

Very easy.
It is exactly place on the top of the window of the microsoft word, in the middle part.

Try to put your mouse-arrow on top of those icons on top, but do not click. Just put on top of them, one by one. Doing this, the names of those icons will appear. Try to look for the one named "COLUMNS". It should be there.

Good luck!

Answer 6

Create a table and decide how many columns you need.

Answer 7

go to your "format" pop down menu, select "columns". it will give you a dialog box where you can choose a preset selection or indicate the number of columns. you can also set column widths, and it may contain a preview window this will make the entire document in columns. if you want part of the document to be one column, and the rest to be more than one column you will need to insert "section breaks" to insert section breaks go to your "insert" pop down menu, select "break". it will give you a dialog box where where you can choose the type of break. a column break is a section break, in the same box you can select next page, continuous, even page, or odd page breaks
