I am using Word 2000....

When I open a new document, it opens with two columns. Every time I have to
go in and change to 1 column.

Thoughts on how I can fix this?
 
It relates to your normal.dot settings . If you don't have any specific or
customized formatting in your normal.dot you can delete it and word will
create a new Normal.dot with default settings next time you open a word
document. :)
 
Locate and open your Normal.dot file as described in Method 1 in
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/BlankDocNotBlank.htm . Click on
Format | Columns | One | Apply to: Whole document | OK. Even if "One"
already appears to be selected, click on it anyway. Type a character or
two and delete what you just typed. Save the Normal.dot file and close it.
