In the Columns dialog (from Page Setup > Columns > More Columns), you can select from Presets, and if needed, provide more specific values for the number and spacing of columns. Here's how:
-
Use Presets: Selecting one of the layouts under Presets changes the number of columns and all the column width and spacing options at once. If you find a preset that's just right, select it, and then select OK to close the dialog and apply the changes.
-
Manually adjust: Or, enter a number for Number of columns and then adjust the settings under Width and spacing to select your column width and the spacing between columns.
Notes:
-
Insert a column break to control how text flows between columns. For example, insert a column break to end a paragraph in one column and start a new paragraph at the top of the next column.
-
If your document has more than one section, a column layout will only be applied to the current section.
