I am in desparate need of help! I am doing a project for my boss, and she
needs it completed by this afternoon to take with her to a meeting.

I have several questions if anyone is willing to help me! It will be greatly
appreciated!

I am taking a document and formatting it into two columns, and adding the
tables the authors provide as well. I am having to put the tables on a
landscape page and leaving the rest as portrait. I am having a problem with
the page before my table page staying landscape as well. I know this has
something to do with section breaks, which I had to add do so that I could
get odd and even headers, so I am not sure how to fix it.

One other problem I am having is that when I try to divide the text into
columns, it jumbles it around and puts it in the wrong place. This is really
causing me to panic!!!

Is there a certain sequence that I need to use to make all of this work??

Please Help!
Thanks,
Mattie

Hi Mattie,

I'll try to help you althought it's a bit difficult without seeing your
document. You are correct that the section breaks are the problem. The
section breaks should be "next page" breaks for the headers and footers and
once you view the header and footer you should click on "same as previous" so
that your page orientation will not change. Insofar as your columns go, you
state that you included what the authors had provided. Were these documents
in Word as well? I hope I have been of some help to you.

Carol,

Thanks for your help. I am receiving the document in Word, and then I have
to take it and format it as a chapter for a book. I don't understand why when
I split the text into columns some of the words disappear if I delete spaces,
or if I use cut/paste.
Also, I am trying to have part of my text as one column, but then text below
it needs to be two columns. I can't get this to work either.

Any ideas??
Thanks!
Mattie
