1 Column & 2 Column on Same Page
Using Word 2000
I have to insert a paragraph of text at the top of the document (that spans the entire margins of one column) and below that I have to insert 2 columns of text for the remainder of the document. How can this be done? Thank you |

Addendum to 1 Column & 2 Column on Same Page
The usual method is to insert sections breaks (next page or continuous). You
can specify the number of columns independently for each section. So from your description, you have page one, formatted for two columns. Then insert a next page section break: that gets you to the top of page two. Format that section as one column. Type your paragraph. Now a continuous section break, format for two columns, and go on from there. An alternative, if the paragraph at the top of page two is independent of the text in the two-column layout, is to put that paragraph in a textbox that stretches the full width of the page. Format the body of the document as two-column: on page three the columns will start below your text box. "Karen" wrote in message ...
