Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article. Symptoms In Microsoft Word, when you try to center the text in a column of an inserted table, you may be unable to do so. Cause You can only apply the Centered formatting style to either of the following elements: The first column of the inserted table Any other text contained in the document Note In Word and in earlier versions of Microsoft Word, the Centered formatting style is in the Styles and Formatting task pane.
Workaround To work around this issue, use one of the following methods: Select the text that you want to center, and then click the Centered button on the Formatting toolbar. Status Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article. Now that you've learned about columns, do you see a need for them in your document?
If you are designing a newsletter, you will almost certainly want to use them. Columns can make your newsletter look more professional. If you are designing a flyer, you may or may not want columns. Introduction By the end of this lesson, you should be able to: Change column structure. To create columns using the Columns button: Switch to Print Layout view. You can create a multi-column format by using the Columns command on the Format menu or the Columns button on the Standard toolbar.
No matter how you set up the columns, you can change their width in the Columns dialog box, and you can format text in columns as you would any other text. For example, you can change the indentation or the alignment of text in a column using the horizontal ruler or buttons on the Formatting toolbar.
In this exercise, you will format text into four columns, reduce the amount of space between the columns, and indent column text. You can plant a variety of herbs in a collection of containers of various shapes and sizes, and then gather them together on a porch, deck, or balcony to create an attractive display.
Click just to the left of the paragraph that begins Step 1 do not click in the selection area. Click the up arrow to the right of the Number of columns box until the setting is 3 , and click OK. Word inserts a section break above the selection. It then formats the text afterthe section break in three columns.
Dragging the pointer to the right decreases the spacing between the columns, which decreases the amount of white space on the page. Dragging to the left increases the spacing, which increases the amount of white space. All the lines in the NOTE paragraph except the first are now indented, offsetting the note from the step. Click anywhere in the NOTE paragraph at the top of the third paragraph, and press the [F4] key to apply the same formatting to this paragraph.
Table columns are especially good for things like opera librettos, where you need the text in the original libretto and the translation to line up with each other vertically. It is possible to get text to flow from one Text Box to another. To do this, click on the first Text Box, then click on the Link button on the Text Box toolbar that will now be visible, and click on the second textbox. The idea of Text Box columns is that, unlike snaking columns which are covered in detail below , they can be used to cater for articles which start on page 1 of a publication and continue in the middle of page An example is to be found in the appallingly formatted!
Newsletter Wizard that is supplied with some versions of Microsoft Office Word has no wizards, but there are plenty of equally appalling templates in the Template Gallery at Microsoft Office Online. However, Text Box columns don't work well and are best avoided; there is also a firm limitation in Word of 32 linked text boxes.
If you need the ability to flow text between non-consecutive pages, you will save yourself a lot of heartache by using a DTP package such as Microsoft Publisher or Adobe InDesign. For most purposes, however, snaking columns work admirably.
If you want the text to fill the first column and then snake into the next and fill it, continuing from Column A to Column B, then Column A on the next page, then you want newspaper-style columns, the subject of this article. Note that this type of columns is not appropriate for text to be aligned vertically across the page; for that you need to use a table.
If you can make any sense of the above passage, you should have no trouble learning to work with columns! If you are coming to Word from WordPerfect, you may be used to having another option: parallel columns. Word doesn't offer this option, but you can achieve the same effect using a one-row table with the required number of columns.
Be aware, though, that Word can be uncomfortable with very long single-row tables, which may lead to document corruption. Usually you will want to start a new row occasionally, anyway, to line up text in the two or more columns.
The most common reason for using newspaper-style columns is to create as the name suggests something like a newspaper. Dividing the page width into narrower lines allows you to use smaller type without creating an unreadable line length. For some documents, such as newsletters, the number of columns can vary, and columns may be of unequal widths. For other documents, such as a three- or four-panel brochure, it makes sense to have one column of text for each panel though sometimes a heading or other design element or even an entire column will spread over two or more panels.
However many columns you decide to have, and whether they are of equal or unequal widths, you can easily create them in Word. Sometimes you will want just one portion of your document to have multiple columns. For now, however, let's assume that your entire document will be multicolumn. For illustration purposes, let's say that it is a four-panel brochure on legal-sized paper in landscape orientation.
Since the document will be folded, you will want to allow enough space between the columns to leave a reasonable margin on each panel. This margin should be the same as the outside margin, meaning that the space between columns will need to be double the outside margin. By default, Word puts half an inch between columns, so you could make your outside margins a quarter of an inch, but that might be pushing the limits of your printer or a photocopier, so let's say you'll set 0.
Word and earlier: After setting your document margins in File Page Setup , click on the Columns button on the Standard toolbar, drag to select four columns, and release. Your document will now be divided into four columns. You can also use Format Columns to access the Columns dialog, which is the safer approach see the Important Note below. Word and above: After setting your document margins through Page Layout Page Setup Margins or in the Page Setup dialog accessed via the dialog launcher arrow in the bottom right corner of the Page Setup group , click Columns in the Page Setup group and choose More Columns… This opens the Columns dialog see figure below , where you can choose the number of columns.
Important Note: In Word and earlier there is a bug which sometimes also surfaces in later versions whereby the Equal column width box is not checked when the Columns button flyout is used to drag to get columns.
This can result in columns being assigned specific widths instead of adjusting automatically as the margins or page orientation is changed.
