Hi
I'm writing an English assignment which is supposed to look like a newspaper article, and I need to put the text in three or four columns. I'm using Microsoft Word for Windows. Can anyone tell me how to do this, if it is possible?
:)
Cheers

These are the directions from the Microsoft Help site:


Create newsletter-style columns
Show All
Hide All
Text in newsletter-style columns flows from one column to the next on the same page.

Switch to print layout view (print layout view: A view of a document or other object as it will appear when you print it. For example, items such as headers, footnotes, columns, and text boxes appear in their actual positions.).
Select the text you want to format in columns:
An entire document

On the Edit menu, click Select All.

Part of the document

Select the text.

Existing sections

Click in a section (section: A portion of a document in which you set certain page formatting options. You create a new section when you want to change such properties as line numbering, number of columns, or headers and footers.) or select multiple sections.

On the Standard toolbar (toolbar: A bar with buttons and options that you use to carry out commands. To display a toolbar, press ALT and then SHIFT+F10.), click Columns .
Drag to select the number of columns you want .
