Silly me - when I read your post, I thought you were using a table. It seems
you were using columns as in a newspaper. Makes a big difference.

Perhaps what you want is a three-column table?

I am writing a paper which requires three columns of different sizes. I
need
to know how to keep the text that goes in each seperate. Right now
when I
create columns, the entire paper gets distributed throughout the three
columns. I need two of them to stay blank until I need to use them.
