Default How do you insert a title above 2 columns of text?

Just a caution on these methods, particularly if you need a table of
contents:

- Word 2007 is the first version of Word that can "see" headings in text
boxes for the purpose of creating a table of contents. In earlier versions,
you can use a frame (from the Forms toolbar) instead of a text box.

- No version of Word can include in the TOC any "heading" that you put in a
header. Also, if the document contains more than one page, you'd have to use
the first-page header (after going to Page Setup Layout and choosing
"Different first page"), and you couldn't do the same trick a second time in
the same document unless you insert a section break. In other words, this
method is too complicated for anything except a one-page document.

the heading where ever you would like and it won't interfere with the
formatting on the page.
Or you can use the header section of the document.
hope this helps.
