Word2007: doc on 2 columns with text scrolling from column 1 page 1 to column 1 page 2
Hi all, I have to write a long doc (20 pages) and I need to use 2 columns:
one large 12 cm (where I write the huge amount of the text) and the second large 6 cm (to write annotations). I need to write the text in order that the text flows from column 1 on page 1 to column 1 on page 2. I remember there was an option like this in oldest Word versions, but I'm not able to find in Word 2007. I tried also to use a table with a single row and two columns, but the result is not what I expect. can anyone help me? thanks in advance for your help roberto url:http://www.ureader.com/gp/1014-1.aspx |

Word2007: doc on 2 columns with text scrolling from column 1 page 1 to column 1 page 2
The two-column table is the correct way to do this in Word. (In fact it has
always been the way; maybe you're thinking of WordPerfect, which has a different way of handling columns.) When an annotation in the second column needs to align with specific text in the first column, you should start a new row at or above that point. Because Word sometimes has trouble with single cells that extend over many pages, you should start a new row after every page or two anyway. More information is at http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Format...ingColumns.htm. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
