columns in header, footer, text box in Word
Is there a way to have columns in a header or footer? How about in a text
box? I had a document in Lotus WordPro but after saving it into a Word 97 document and then loading it into Word 2007, the columns that were in the header, footer and text box (called a frame in WP) were gone. Each of these three items contained a rather narrow table that would just continue in the next column and made numbering and sorting the items in the table very easy. I realize I could make a table with more columns but then the numbering and sorting of the items gets a lot more complicated. If this isn't possible in Word 2007, any other ideas or suggestions? |

columns in header, footer, text box in Word
Word does not support columns in headers, footers, or text boxes. You will
have to use linked text boxes instead. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Bob Arnett" wrote in message ... Is there a way to have columns in a header or footer? How about in a text box?

columns in header, footer, text box in Word
I'm having a problem visualizing exactly what you want to do - headers,
footers, & text boxes are all separate & distinct from the main content in a Word doc - so please pardon me if I'm off track. Would it provide what you want if you go to the Page Layout tab of the Ribbon & select a 2-column layout, then create a table in the first column. As the table grows to the bottom of the column it will wrap to the top of the next. Although it may appear to be a separate table it is actually a continuation of the one in the first column & will even carry on to additional pages.
