Default newspaper columns in landscape

1. newspaper column query answered, than you.
2. Your analysis makes things clear. I have Word 2003 and changing table
width does not solve the problem. I shall continue looking.

Your last problem is a total mystery to me, but here is some information
about the first two:

1. Make sure your margins are set correctly. Then go to Format | Columns and
make sure "Equal column width" is checked. You can also specify the width of
the columns and the space between them as desired.

2. When you insert a table, it by default fills the margin width, but if you
change the margins or page width (as you're doing if you switch from
portrait to landscape), the table width doesn't change. If you have Word
2000 or above, in the Table Properties, choose 100% for the width
(alternatively, you can choose a specific width).

When I change from portrait to landscape with 2 newspaper columns I can

not
get the columns to spread over the whole page.
When enter a Table in landscape I cannot get the right hand side of the
table to go to the right of the page. Text is visible in Web Layout view

but
not in Print or Page Layout.
