MS Office Forum / Excel / New Users / June 2005Excel XP - 2 Column Pages
In Word it is possible to have column breaks on pages. That is, if the page was set to have 2 columns, inserting large text would flow in the 2nd column instead on the next page. What I like to know, is it possible in Excel to flow inserted text/data so that instead of it continuing on the next page, it would flow back on the same page and in other columns? Why I ask, is I have data that's 10 characters, 500 rows, I like to insert this data into Excel but have it auto flow in as many columns as it can on a page before doing the same on the next page. I don't use Excel to much, and not familiar on creating macros or scripts. If that is the answer, then please give some extra instructions on "How TO". Thanks, MarkC No, excel does not work as a word processor, you can however paste special from word as a picture  SignatureRegards, Peo Sjoblom (No private emails please) > In Word it is possible to have column breaks on pages.
