I know how to set up the columns (I need four) but I can't get the text to

It sounds like what you want is a 4 column Table, not 4 (newspaper) columns.
If you need information on using tables chek them out in Word Help as well as at the following link: http://word.mvps.org/faqs/tblsfldsfms/TableBasics.htm -- HTH |:) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac "Ladyclint" wrote in message ...

How do I get text in four columns to go across then down
Thank you for your response. However, I DO want 4 newspaper columns--this is
a list of the date, Employee Name, Home Phone and Cell Phone. So each line contains four pieces of information specific to the person whose name appears on that line. Therefore, I want the text to flow from left to right. If I don't use the columns and just tab across each line, it makes revisions more difficult. I know there's somewhere that you select a vertical flow or a horizontal one, but I can't find it in Office 2007. Thanks for your help.

What you are describing is a table. You don't have to have borders, but you
do have columns; you tab from one column to the next and insert the desired content in each column. Did you look at the referenced article? -- Suzanne S.
