Default Inserting a block of text

gcotterl came back and asked the question twice more, and it turned
out it probably wanted a table rather than columns.

Looks like you're after columns.

Word 2007
Page Layout Columns Two
Put a column break at the end of the first section. (Page Layout
Breaks Column,)
At the end of the second section insert a continuous section (Page
Layout Breaks Continuous) break and *change back *to one column if
desired (Page Layout Columns One).

Word 2003
Format Tools Columns Two
Then at the end of the first section, Insert Break Column.
At the end of the second section, *Insert Break Continuous THEN
Format Tools Columns One

This works there but may be a more succint way of doing it.
