FORMAT
=> COLUMNS

Business Computing Tips
By K&K Fainges kfainges@bigpond.net.au
Columns allows you to turn a page of text into columns like a newspaper.
Available on the Formatting toolbar; you simply highlight the text and choose
how many columns you want.
Using FORMAT =>COLUMNS allows you to specify exactly how wide the
columns should be the 'Spacing' between them, and tick in the box for a line
between the columns, and making the columns even. You can make the whole page columns,
or just the next part of the page. And you can start a new column, if you want
to go from two to three.
Columns do have one problem, they do not convert very well. If you want to
turn the page into a webpage, or email it etc, the columns will often go crazy
on you. So use a table instead.
Next week: more formatting.
