How to Turn Off Columns in a Microsoft Word 2007 Vista Document

Working with columns in a Vista document doesn't have to be a hassle. You can turn columns off at any point in Word 2007 even if you're using columns in one area of your page, but not another. This can be helpful for newsletters that require columns at the top of a page and none below. Microsoft Word includes section breaks that help you use different layouts in the same document and turn off the columns.

Instructions

1. Open the Visa document you're editing in Word 2007.

2. Place the insertion point where you want the columns turned off.

3. Select the "Page Layout" tab in the ribbon and go to the "Page Setup" group.

4. Click "Breaks" and "Continuous." The insertion point should now flash after the section break.

5. Select "Columns" and "One" from the "Page Setup" group to turn the Vista document into a one-column page.
