I am required to use the columns tool in Word to make a newsletter with a
heading. So far, I am okay with the settings up the colums, doing the text,
graphics, etc within them.

What is stumping me is trying to make a free-standing heading at the top of
the columns. So far, I have tried going down a few lines before making the
columns and going back above them once they are in place. I even tried what
the office assistant says to do, but that doesn't work, either.

Since I am required to do this with the columns tool, I cannnot opt for
doing tables.

Can someone help?

No
