I have created a landscape doc with 2 columns which worked beautifully. However, there is a blank page 2 portrait that I cannot delete. How do I delete this 2nd page
To justify right and left margins in the same paragraph, create a table with only two cells; justify the first cell with the left justify and the right cell with the right justify; pretty simple to do but can be problematic with columns. Use table with two cells and type away!
How can I make my existing columns straight?
Word user since word came out. Help function is difficult to use. I wanted to set up two columns in my doc and searched for the old tab, or old menu. Couldn’t find for five minutes. This new word is more difficult to use.
good but u should put a little more in it
I have been creating a document with columns on several of the pages. I can highlight and insert the column command BUT I want some of the columns to be balanced (i.e. both the columns are the same length) and some of the columns are unbalanced (i.e. 15 lines in column 1 and 5 lines in column 2). These are names and addresses and some are four lines and some are 5 or 6 lines long.
In other words, I want to be able to tell the program where to break the column (as I can in WordPerfect).
