Default columns

That cannot be done. Snaking columns 'snake from c1 to c2 to c3 to c4.

However, I recommend that you use a two column table with column widths and
borders formatted as you need, on a page formatted in two columns. This will
look just like a four-column page but in reality is just a long two column
table flowing across page columns. So text will naturally flow from c1 to c3
as it is just a single column of a table (likewise c2 to c4).

Hi,

I have created 4 columns in a word document. Col 1 and Col 3 are smaller
width meant for short summary and Col 2 and Col 4 are bigger width meant
for
the main body. Could you tell me how to format such that the text in Col 2
will automatically flow to col 4 instead of col 3.

Thank you.
