seperate columns
That is what it does, flow down the left hand column and then down the
right. If you want to enter text into both columns and keep that items in each column together, use a table instead of columns created by using FormatColumns. -- Hope this helps.

seperate columns
What I am trying to do is make the columns independant of each other.
That is what it does, flow down the left hand column and then down the right. I am trying to make the left column flow down the left column only, and the rigtht column only flow down the right. I did use FormatColumns. as suggested, but cant seem to disconect them. I am trying to but sidebars and graphics in the left column.

Columns are not what you want. A table may or may not be what you want.
Possibly http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/MarginalText.htm is what you want. -- Suzanne S.
