When MS Word is opened, it automatically formats it with columns. I have
found no option that would create this. Has anyone seen this before?

You'll need to edit Normal.dot to reset it to one column. See

Locate and open your Normal.dot file as described in Method 1 in
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...ocNotBlank.htm . Click
on Format | Columns | One | Apply to: Whole document | OK. Even
if "One" already appears to be selected, click on it anyway. Type
a character or two and delete what you just typed. Save the
Normal.dot file and close it.
