MS Office Forum / Word / Page Layout / November 2005can newspaper columns be formatted differently from each other?
I want to do a contract where the left column is about 1.5 inches wide and is the title for the paragraph adjoining it in the next column. How do I do this? Can each column have different formatting and fonts? Thanks in advance Don't use columns; use a two-column table. You can apply individual formats to any selection of text you choose - in this case, in particular, to a table cell or a column. -- Enjoy, Tony > I want to do a contract where the left column is about 1.5 inches wide and is > the title for the paragraph adjoining it in the next column.

If you have only two columns, just put the heading in a single-column section; if you have more than two, see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/HeadingsSpanColumns.htm  SignatureSuzanne S.
