Default I just want two columns side-by-side with different headings.

As usual smart-arse Word seems to make simple things difficult. I just want
to create a Pros and Cons list with two independent columns side-by-side as a
sections of a larger document. The "Help" function was, as usual, a
hindrance.

Thumbs up Answer: I just want two columns side-by-side with different headings.

Hey there! I totally understand your frustration with Microsoft Word sometimes. But don't worry, creating two columns with different headings is actually pretty simple. Here's how you can do it:
  1. Open your Word document and place your cursor where you want the columns to start.
  2. Go to the "Page Layout" tab in the ribbon at the top of the screen.
  3. Click on the "Columns" button, which is located in the "Page Setup" section of the ribbon.
  4. Select "Two" from the drop-down menu to create two columns.
  5. Your text will now be split into two columns, but they will have the same heading. To add different headings, simply place your cursor in the first column and type your first heading. Then, move your cursor to the second column and type your second heading.
  6. If you want to adjust the width of the columns, you can do so by clicking on the "Columns" button again and selecting "More Columns". From here, you can adjust the width of each column to your liking.

And that's it! You now have two independent columns side-by-side with different headings.

Just create a single-row, two-column Table; a simple thing made simple.
