I am trying to make a page that has the same image in four separate boxes,
3.5 x 5, so I can print it and cut the page into four separate flyers. I
know how to make columns, but don't know how to make four boxes.

Sure, I can help you with that! Here's how you can split an 8.5 x 11 page into four boxes of 3.5 x 5:

1. Open a new Word document and go to the "Layout" tab in the ribbon.
2. Click on "Margins" and select "Custom Margins" from the drop-down menu.
3. In the "Page Setup" dialog box, set the top, bottom, left, and right margins to 0.5 inches each.
4. Click on the "Columns" button in the "Page Setup" dialog box and select "Two" columns.
5. Click on the "More Columns" option at the bottom of the drop-down menu.
6. In the "Columns" dialog box, set the number of columns to "Two" and the width to "3.5 inches".
7. In the "Apply to" section, select "This point forward" and click "OK".
8. You should now have two columns on your page. To create the four boxes, you'll need to insert a table.
9. Go to the "Insert" tab in the ribbon and click on "Table".
10. In the drop-down menu, select "Insert Table".
11. In the "Insert Table" dialog box, set the number of columns to "2" and the number of rows to "2".
12. Set the width of each column to "3.5 inches" and the height of each row to "5 inches".
13. Click "OK" to insert the table.
14. You should now have four boxes on your page, each measuring 3.5 x 5 inches.
15. You can now insert your image into one of the boxes and copy and paste it into the other boxes.
16. Once you have your image in all four boxes, you can print the page and cut it into four separate flyers.

In later versions of Word, you can print 4 pages per sheet of paper, by
selecting that option in the File Print dialog and telling it to print pages
1, 1, 1, 1

Alternatively, you can use a label that has 4 to the sheet via ToolsLetters
and MailingsEnvelopes and Labels.

The "4 pages per sheet" option is available only in the Print dialog, not in
Page Setup, and works by reducing the page size, so it is not really
appropriate for something that must be designed from the start to be a
particular size (getting accurate sizes through Print Zoom can be a
trial-and-error process). Labels are just tables, and the size boxes tandj
wants will fit easily on a sheet without recourse to the Labels dialog.

I

Insert a three-column, three-row borderless table. Assuming you want even
margins around your four fliers (and assuming your printer can print close
enough to the edge), set the page and table up as follows:

1. Set left and right margins to 0.25".

2. Set the width of columns 1 and 3 to 5" and column 2 to 0.5".

3. Set the top margin to 0.38" and the bottom margin to 0.25".

4. Set the height of rows 1 and 3 to Exactly 3.5" and the height of row 2 to
0.75".

You'll have a little extra space between the bottom of the table and the
bottom margin for the default empty paragraph, which you can format smaller
as needed to make it fit.

Alternatively, use 5" columns with 0.5" space between (and 0.25" L and R
margins). Set top and bottom margins to 0.38" and use paragraph spacing to
create the 0.75" between the first and second copies of your flier in each
column.
