How to Get Columns on Word
Word is the document management tool in the Microsoft Office Suite. Word includes several tools to enhance your document, including those for column creation. When you add columns, utilize section breaks to break off selected information into columns. This will give the document the look of a newsletter or newspaper. It also adds variety to your document. These options are located on the Page Layout option of Microsoft Word.
