Columns in Text Box?

[Guest]

Is it possible to have columns in a text box? If it is I need help in
figuring out how to do it in Word 2007.

Use Tables instead of text boxes then you can have columns.

 

[Stefan Blom]

No, text box columns are not supported in Word, unfortunately. You can
place two columns next to each other and then link their contents.

This is for a newsletter and I have found that there are problems placing
graphics that bridge the two columns if I do that. The graphics stay in one
column or the other.

 

[Guest]

I might give that a try...can you place graphics that span into two cells and
have text flow around the graphics?

 

[Graham Mayor]

No - but you can merge adjacent cells and put graphic in the merged cells
with a wrap.

You would be better using Publisher if you have it. Word is not a page
layout application.

Funzero,
As a workaround you can make the textbox in PowerPoint. You can apply
columns in textboxes there now. Then copy paste it in your Word-document.
Not quite what you are after but maybe it will help.
