Really Need Help with Columns

[nikknock]

Hello all.

I need to create 4 columns on a page, each completely independent of each other. What I type in the first column never gets pushed to the second column, but rather continues in the same column on the next page. Same goes for the remainder of the columns.



How can I do this? I am using Word 2013.

Hi,

If you need the text to move to the next page rather than filling the next column then you would be best to use a table to achieve this. Insert a table with 4 x columns and then enter the text into column 1, once it fills the first column it will move over onto page 2 leaving you to put information into column 2.

You can give the appearance of traditional columns by removing all borders from the table and if needed you can adjust the cell margins so that text does not sit too close to the borders.

Let me know if you need further information.
