Default Aligning text in columns

Use a table instead of columns. Start a new row each time you need
things to align. See
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Format...ingColumns.htm for
explanation.

When columns consist of several lines (in one row), I'm having trouble
aligning the text horizontally, especially when one column has much text, and
in the next I only want to add a line or two.
The only solution seems to use the enter-key a lot, but any adjustments made
in the next column disturbs the alignment again.

Does anyone have a better idea? Thanks,
