Changing the Number of Columns

If you have already added columns to your document, Word lets you easily change the number of columns you are using. To do this, follow these steps:

1. If your document is formatted using more than one section, position the insertion point in the document section that you want to affect.
2. Select the Columns option from the Format menu. Word displays the Columns dialog box.
3. Change the value in the Number of Columns field to the number of columns you desire.
4. In the Apply To box, select Whole Document or This Section (depending on what you want your change to affect).
5. Click on OK.
