How do I create columns but control what text goes in what colunm
I am writing a paper which requires three columns of different sizes. I need
to know how to keep the text that goes in each seperate. Right now when I create columns, the entire paper gets distributed throughout the three columns. I need two of them to stay blank until I need to use them. |

Then only create one column and add the other two after you've added the
text. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "NYCNanny" wrote in message ... I am writing a paper which requires three columns of different sizes.

Perhaps what you want is a three-column table?

Silly me - when I read your post, I thought you were using a table. It seems
you were using columns as in a newspaper. Makes a big difference. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "NYCNanny" wrote in message news  Thank you - that was exactly what I needed!

How do I create columns but control what text goes in what col
Yes, I was using newspaper columns. I thought that creating a table would
solve my problem, but it actually hasn't. I need the table to be two very narrow (.25) colums that run up and down the right side of the page, while regular text takes up the rest of the page. I can't seem to accomplish this - when I create such a table, it automatically runs up and down the left side of the page and doesn't allow me to type in the space next to it. Any suggestions?
