I would like to set up a document with two columns so
that when I come to the end of colum one it doesn't
continue on column two, but instead continues on column
one on the next page.

i am a user of Microsoft office xp, i usually use
microsoft word, however lately i have been having a
problem.
everytime i startup microsoft word, the cursor is

In print layout view, my documents (all, whether old or
newly created) mysteriously began showing the four margain
marker angles on the page.  They are only visible in print
layout view, and do not print, but their presence on the

Just upgraded Office 2000 Pro to Office XP Pro - scale on
print view is in characters, not inches as in original
2000 version.  Checked options to insure "inches" were
set - cannot find any way to change the scale.

I like the format of the old Track Changes functionality
in Word.  I upgraded to Word 2002 and hate the new
format.  Is there any way to get Word 2002 to use the old
Track Changes formatting?

In my document, page numbers after  section breaks are
not being numbered properly. My document is set for  
different odd and even footers, and  different first page
footers. Each section in my document ends with a

I have a 35-page document with multiple sections. The footers have "Page X
of Y" in them. When I view the document on the computer, the "Y" is correct

I don't understand the relations between these three.  Even tho I set rt and lft margins in page setup, when I type I get different margins in paragraph settings.  Font size also seems to influence margin settings.  Neither of my two manuels addresses the relationship between the ...

Every time I open a new word doc the cursor is positioned
at the very top of the page. Any Ideas on why this is
happening. It's just annoying. Thanks!

underlineing and making text red!) and I cannot undo these
chages, even by deleting and starting over!
Also, it puts the> instead of ., even with no shift key

Tell me if this is nuts, but:
I want to have some styles that have more than one size in them.  Actually
it's probably easiest if I show my requirements and let someone make a
suggestion.  Here is a sample of what I am trying to do:

When I open a word document, in the beginning of each
line i see a reverse P (The one u can see when u see the
symbol of paragraph in format -> paragraph). Can someone
tell me how to turn that off?

On some of my computers I have nonprinting markers in
Print Layout View.  The markers are in the corners of the
page and display the margin settings.  I can't seem to
get rid of them.  HELP!

Hi! I'm just writing to ask whether anybody knows of any templates that enable you to compose a story in Microsoft Word 2000 that automatically converts to traditional novel/paperback form? I have a school project for English that requires a professional presentation and I'm ...

I've been looking for hours for a way to make Word do a two column setup which would have the larger column contain the content and the smaller side column contain headings at different points. I've done a "graphic rendition" of what I mean and posted it at http://www.ugrad.cs ...
