Formatting a Section of your Document
with Columns
|
Q: |
Every time I try
to set up columns in Microsoft Word, the whole document gets
reformatted with the columns. How can I tell Word to only set up
columns on a specific page of my document without the whole thing
going crazy? >Les, Amherst NY

A: |
The solution, Les, is
to simply highlight (select with the mouse or keyboard) the
section of your document that you want to be in columns. Here's
my trick: take your mouse and click at the very beginning of the
section you want to be in columns. Now, hold down the SHIFT
key and click at the very end of the section. That should select
(highlight) all of the text and everything in between. Now, click on
the Format Columns button on your toolbar, or click on
Format > Columns, and make sure the "Apply To" option says,
"Selected Text." You should be good to go! You can learn all about
formatting documents using Columns in our
Microsoft Word 103 course. |
