I am using Microsoft Works to make a newspaper. I want to make columns, but not on the top by the title.?

Question

I don't want the title to be in columns, but I want the stuff under it to be. How can I do this? When I do columns it formats the entire page, not just the section I want.

Both the answers do not work. I want more than just the title without columns. I have text in the middle of the page. Also, when you select text it formats the whole page. Anyone else have any ideas?

Answer 1

Select the text then do change to colums. Do not select the title when you do it.

Answer 2

When you open a blank file, it is actually one column. Type that section.
Enter.
In Word, you would Insert Break, then click Continuous.
You would format the columns in this new section.

I don't have Works but I can offer you a tutorial. It might be there.

Answer 3

I dont have Word but on the toolbar isnt there a column feature, or in the paragraph menu there is a feature where you can set any number of columns. 6 picas = 1 inch in newspaper columns

Answer 4

Use either Publisher or Adobe InDesign for doing a newspaper layout. Word is only suited for text and Word documents it is not designed as a page layout application.

InDesign and Quark are best suited at page layout.

Answer 5

If you format comlums in works it does not format the title if u put it in the header section instead.. so click view>header and footer. and put your title up there thats what its made for. goodluck
