Hi. Can someone please help me? I'm trying to divide the default 8 1/2" x
11" Word sheet into 4 equal sections. I have successfully made a column down
the middle of the page, but can't seem to figure out how to get the
horizontal divider in there. I just want there to be four sections of equal
size.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Sure, I can help you with that! Here are the steps to divide a page into 4 equal sections in Microsoft Word:

1. Open a new or existing Word document.
2. Click on the "Layout" tab in the ribbon at the top of the screen.
3. Click on the "Margins" button and select "Custom Margins" from the drop-down menu.
4. In the "Page Setup" window that appears, click on the "Margins" tab.
5. Under "Multiple pages," select "4 pages" from the drop-down menu next to "Pages per sheet."
6. Make sure the "Equal column width" and "Equal row height" boxes are checked.
7. Adjust the margins as desired to create the size of each section you want.
8. Click "OK" to apply the changes.

This should divide your page into 4 equal sections. You can now type or insert content into each section as desired.

You have a few options, but creating a 2x2 table is probably the simplest &
most effective - depending on what your intended goal may be. Columns (as in
Newspaper Columns) won't work unless, perhaps, you use a Continuous Section
Break, & that combination may get to be problematic.

4 equal sized text boxes will allow you to centre easily - take the boxes
right to the edge of your paper. If you are intending to produce cards
(mother's day?) you will find it easier to do this in Powerpoint. The only
way you can have text upside down in Word is to use Wordart, but you can
rotate text easily in Powerpoint.

Hope this helps.
