Thanks for replying. It's in table cells because the content will change from one column to three and back. Normal Word columns won't work for this because this is a timeline that keeps track of several things in different places going on a the same time and they need to say horizontally aligned. Columns would just wrap around. And by "fame" do you mean a text box? Those have their own alignment problems, jumping around the page and having things wrap around them, especially if they are pushed to a different page.
