MS Office Forum / Word / Page Layout / September 2004How to use multiple column formats on a page
For a Yearbook, I want to start with 3 columns. These will contain N & A in column 1, then an old Yearbook picture in column 2, then a current picture in column 3. Following this information I want to switch to a single column to enter their paragraph of life experiences. The goal is to have two graduates to a page. When I do this now, it shifts the single column too far down the page to allow enough room for all of the data. The single column will start below the pictures regardless of how much text you have in Column 1.  SignatureSuzanne S.

Hi LHS, Don't use the Format > Columns feature (or the columns button on the toolbar) for this. Insert a 3-column-by-1-row table and turn off its borders (see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFms/Borders.htm). The single-column material can be done most easily with ordinary text paragraphs between tables. (You could make a new row in the table and merge its 3 cells into one, but that's a complication you don't need.)
