How do you divide your Microsoft Word document into columns of 2 or 3? Follow the steps described in this tutorial.
- Highlight the text you want to split into columns.
- Select the “Layouttab “.
- Choose “Columns” and then select the type of columns you want to apply.
- One
- Of them
- Three
- Left
- Right
For this to work fully, you must have enough typed text to fill the first column before the text begins to fill the second column. This is also true for the second and third columns.
FAQs
Why is the “Columns” option missing from my Word menu?
Make sure the window is maximized so that all options are displayed. If the “columns” option is still missing, you can re-add the button by selecting the “Customize Quick Access” arrow, then selecting “More commands…” in the upper left part of the window. From there, select “Quick Access Toolbar” to change the available options. If you want to use the easiest method, you can select the “Reset” button.
