Style for 2 Columns on part of a page?
I am using Word 2002 on Win XP.
I am trying to figure out how to insert "notes" into a training document I am working on. Ideally the note would be formatted such that in there would be a line across the page both above and below the note. Then between those lines, there would be a specific icon in the left margin. with the actual text of the note aligned with the rest of the document's BodyText. Ideally I could make one or more styles to apply to the text to make all of this happen....but I don't have a clue how :-) I read a few other posts regarding creating 2 columns on only part of the page and also about "margin text" using Frames or Textboxes. If anyone can please help, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks in advance! Paul |

Jezebel,
Thanks for responding...I thought it might be hard to visualize. Your idea of a table would work fine. I am not sure how Autotext works, so I need to read a little about that to see if it would do what I am after. Thanks again for the idea Paul Hermans "Jezebel" wrote: It's a little hard to visualize from your description; but as far as I understand it, why not use a table? Border top and bottom, icon in column 1, text in column 2. Once you've got it right, select the whole thing and define as an autotext entry. "Paul Hermans" Paul wrote in message ...
