Default Two Independent Columns

What version of Word?

If it's word 2007, from the Insert tab of the Ribbon, click on the Table
icon and a grid will appear on which you can drag to select as many columns
and rows as you want, though one row will be enough for the moment. If you
had selected two columns by one row, when you release the mouse key, a one
row, two column table will be inserted into the document.

In earlier versions, I think that there is a similar facility on the Tables
menu.

After inserting the table, click inside the first cell and press Ctrl+Alt+u
and the borders of the table will disappear (though for now, you might want
to leave them there so that you can see where you are, or alternatively,
after removing the borders, you can select an option in the Word 2007 Table
Tools/Layout or earlier versions Tables menu to show the grid lines)

Type your text in the appropriate columns.

To add a new row, with the selection in the second column, press the tab
key. If you want to insert a tab, hold down the Ctrl key and press the tab
key.

Thanks CyberTaz. I'm afraid I'm so new to this that I haven't a clue what
you mean.

Could you walk me through it? What is the step by step to make this
happen?
Thanks so much. Poetrydaze
