Question 1

Using Word 2000, I occasionally create and edit html file for intercompany
use. After opening one of these HTML file and clicking on a link, the
linked web page opens in the same window. Some web sites that I have seen
force a new widow to open when clicking a link and that is what I want to do
off my internal pages so that I can easily open several links. Can this be
done with Word 2000?

Question 2

The columns feature of Word 2000 does not make columns when saving in HTML
format. Is there any way to make the columns in the HTML version of a
document using Word?

Word was never intendend to be used for such options.
You might try using:
VIEW / TOOLBARS / Web Tools

target="display" needs to be added to the end of your link.
EX:

<a href="mypage.com" target="display">New Page</a>
end of quote.
Please note that space between end of link quotes and the word target is
ncessary.

In html columns are created with divides. <div></div>
Like newspaper columns.

If your referring to tabular data?
Than the use of tables is preferrable.
Please note however that it has long been a practice for websites to use
tables and nested tables for layout design. Although it still works today,
it is ineffecient and may be better approcached with CSS. Not using table
will also assure more postitive search engine retireval of your data.
(Athough, that is not an issue with your intranet.)
