How have 2 columns without using second column?
I am on XP Pro/SP2 with Office Pro 2003.
---- In Word I want to have two columns: (1) I want the text of what was said at a meeting in the left (larger) column. (2) I want to put the odd comment in the right column. Can I do this in Word? |

One option - Try using a 2-Column *Table* rather than newspaper-type Column
layout. -- HTH |:) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac "Andy" wrote in message ...

Well, you could use my suggestion instead.

Hmm. Could have sworn I'd posted, but I think I was thinking of another
thread in which someone wanted a column of empty space for inserting handwritten notes. I think you are trying to insert comments in the actual Word document, though, so my article at http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/MarginalText.htm might offer a better way. -- Suzanne S.

Try creating two tables -- sorry I cut off my first message; but wrote another

Try using tables format, instead of columns. Just a suggestion. It might
work. I don't know about Publisher. I have never tried with that. I do go to websites that have attachments and comments, but have never tried to create them. It's worth a try in word. I just experiment until I find a way. No manual will ever be able to answer any of our questions, except simpliest -- unless you want to spend the rest of your life learning all the updates that are supposed to be so useful.
