Convert from newspaper column to letter document
I am trying to find the feature in Word 2003 from newspaper column to letter
document. I usually copy and paste from Adobe Reader 7.0 as obitauries newspaper column to the Word 2003. However, I pasted on the Word document into one complete long newspaper column(one whole page into 4 or 5 pages of Word document). Then I am trying to figure it out, but no avail to get a letter document format from newspaper column format with special feature. I was trying to find every possible way from Word Assistant or Helper for convert from newspaper column format to letter document format. Do you have that kind of feature in the Word 2003 and how I can get it? If not, where I can get a special software as add-in feature for Word 2003? Thanks. |

This could be one of 3 things. Either the obits are in tables or they are in
columns or they use paragraph returns, which shorten the width of the text lines. I would do the following, then post back and tell us what you see: 1) Turn on your show/hide button: http://www.officearticles.com/word/s...osoft_word.htm (if you see a bunch of things at the end of each line that look like ¶ then these are paragraph returns, and we must show you how to remove them. 2) Make sure you are viewing gridlines. From the menu, hit Table--Show gridlines (if it says Hide gridlines, then you are already viewing gridlines). If you don't see any gridlines, then it is not a table. If you do, then it is, and you can click inside and hit Table--Convert--Table to text. 3) You could (I suppose) be copying columns over. Go to Format--Columns and choose 1. Make sure its width is the width of your page minus the left and right margins. Let us know if it's number 1. ************ Anne Troy www.OfficeArticles.com "wfmooney1" wrote in message ...

If you are simply asking how to change your 2 (or more) column document to a
letter-sized document, you merely change the number of columns from 2 (or whatever you have) to one. A typical letter-size document is a one column thing. But if your problem is beyond that, the other posts should help you. "wfmooney1" wrote in message ... I am trying to find the feature in Word 2003 from newspaper column to letter document.
