i use word 2003 i have a document e.g. 5 pages long and all along i have footnotes how could i set it that the main text should be two columns while the footnote text should be 1 column the width of the page See http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/FtnoteSpanColumns.htm . > i use word 2003 > i have a document e.g. 5 pages long and all along i have footnotes how could > i set it that the main text should be two columns while the footnote text > should be 1 column the width of the page thank you it was very helpful i just want to know if there is an easier way to do it because my whole document is of two columns and it is a pain to have to do the whole procedure every page (the link you gave me talks about one 2-columned section in a document of 1-columned text my document is ONLY 2 columns so it is a pain to play around at the end of every page with section breaks so if you have any solution it would be greatly appreceiated or do you know any program that is easier to work with columns an footnotes > See http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/FtnoteSpanColumns.htm . The described method is admittedly "so clumsy that you may well decide it is not worth it". An even clumsier method is to forget the Insert->Footnote function, and enter the footnotes manually into floating text boxes at the bottom of each page, but this method creates an editing nightmare, so you would have to wait until document was completely edited, and then make the footnotes. > thank you it was very helpful i just want to know if there is an easier way > to do it because my whole document is of two columns and it is a pain to have [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > >>See http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/FtnoteSpanColumns.htm . |
