I have just copied a long list for someone off the the web and placed it in
microsoft word, where it appears as one long narrow list. Which wastes
masses of paper space, since I need to print it off.

Is there a simple way of making two columns of this list 'side by side' on
each page? There is plenty of room for this, but I have no idea how to go
about it. Thanks for any assistance.

I'm sure there is a way and the experts in the Word newsgroup
would love to explain it to you. You are currently posting in
a Windows newsgroup.

Yes there is. Select all text you want to place in columns. Goto Format->
Columns and select the number of columns you want.

You'll get attention from the Word experts if you post in a newsgroup
for Office. Here is a list of all the MS public newsgroups so you can
find the right one:
