Im using Office XP
I have a word doc (10 pages in total) that so far is made up of pages with 2
columns (like a nespaper) from page 1 to 5, now what to only have 1 column on
the page (as word is as standard) from page 5 to 10. I cannot seem to break
the style, i thought that there was a style or format break that would do
this but I cannot seem to figure this out. I need urgent help as this is for
work..
thanks in advance...

At the end of page 5, hit Insert--Break and choose Next Page under Section.
Then, with your cursor below the section break, hit Format--columns...

Whenever you change the number of columns, you need a section break.
Press Enter to insert a single empty paragraph, select the paragraph, and
format it as one column. Word will insert the required section break for
you. Alternatively, insert a Section Break (probably Next Page in your
case), then set the number of columns to one in the new section.

Columns are a section property.
http://addbalance.com/usersguide/sections.htm. I often use the column button
on the formatting toolbar when I want to change the column setup. This
automatically inserts a section break (continuous). If you have a portion in
the middle of the document that you want in columns, select that and use the
column button.
