Using Micro-soft word 2002 that came with computer

I am trying to make 3 columns of info on one 8x11 sheet so I can then copy
thousands needed..
1 thousand sheets will give me 3000 sheets of info to be distributed as
needed..

I have used margins to make the needed size, then added one image and other
info..nothing seems to stay in place when I either try to print it or save
it..
Is there a name for this proceedure? and are you able to steer me in the
right direction?

many thanks
jim
