Privately:
(I do not know why it is so difficult to explain what I need. I am well
aware of the columns tab within the page layout tab. I have used it before to
snake tables. I have described the table I am trying to snake now. The column
cmd within the page layout does not work for the table I described in the
previous post. I want to know why. Microsoft should publish details about the
various cmds to illustrate in detail when they work and when do not).

In Word 2007, columns are on the Page Layout tab

1. where is 'format'?
2. I have been able to snake tables in the past without being unable
to read the content. Each row has a 3 columns: first column of 2
characters, second column has 1 character, and the third column has
11 characters. Should be able to snake this into at least 3 'snakes'
per page.
Thanks.

Put the cursor in the first cell then format columns two
columns. The table should shrink and reflow into two columns. You
may no longer be able to read the content.

I want to know how to 'snake' a multi-page table into columns on
fewer numbers of pages.

I think you're confusing two features: tables, and
[snaking/newspaper] columns. See if this makes things clearer:

I have a 3 column table 12 pages long; I want to show more entries
of the table on a page, but the 'column' cmd will not work.
Incidentally, the word 'column' is used 2 ways in the application:
a) 'column's in a table
b) 'column's per page
I want the table to appear in more than 1 column on the 'page'.
Thanks.
