Hi Frustrated,

If the 2 columns are within the letter make sure you have

1. Continuous break before the 2 column section (Insert | Break |
Continous)

2. You can force the 2nd column by inserting a column break (Insert |
Break | Column Break) at the end of the
first column of text

3. Insert a continuous break after the text in the second column

I want to create a letter with a section with 2 columns. I have followed
the
help directions and clicked on the column button on the standard tool bar.
I
cannot insert the text into the second column.

I don't know what I am doing wrong or right. Can someone help?
