change the layout of the selected text to two column?

[Guest]

In Micro word, how do you change the layout of the selected text to two column?

 

[Terry Farrell]

Under the Format menu, select Columns and choose 2 columns. That will apply
to the selection.

Under the Format menu, select Columns and choose 2 columns. That
will apply to the selection.

The clever bit is to get the columns of equal length. In Word97 that
requires a 'continuous section break' at the end of the part with
the two columns, can't answer for later versions.

If there is text above and below the selected text, Word takes care of
inserting the two Continuous breaks. There is, however, a Compatibility
Option that affects whether columns above a Continuous break are balanced.
