Can Someone Please Give Me an Idea on How to Get Something in

Can someone PLEASE give me an idea on how to get something in Microsoft Word to be in three columns? Ok- like Kelly's mini-catalog insert. I want three columns of the same info. I want to do my own write up to send with my mini's this week.

It took me over an hour to figure out how to bring pictures in... So bear with me

Click on "format", then "columns" and choose 3. Make sure you choose that it makes the entire document 3 columns!

HTH

For what it sounds like you're doing, it might be easier to create a table with three columns. Get one section all set up and then copy the stuff into the next sections.Go to TABLE
Choose INSERT then TABLE
number of COLUMNS is 3
number of ROWS is 1
click AUTOFIT TO WINDOW
then click OKNow you've got your table.
Now go to FILE
then go to PAGE SETUP
enter .5 in the TOP, LEFT, RIGHT, and BOTTOM sections
click OKJust one more step! This one is a little harder to understand. See how you've got a box with three sections? Those lines are going to print. You probably don't want that because it'll be harder to cut them.You want to HIGHLIGHT all three boxes.
Then look on your toolbar for a button that looks like a black square with dotted lines inside of it. There's a little arrow next to it. Click that. You'll get different choices for where the lines will be. Find the one that is all dotted lines, inside and out. Click that. Your black lines on your page will have disappeared. You'll only have grey lines now. They won't print, they're just there to show you where to put your stuff.Now you can fill one box with your stuff - it'll get longer as you add information. Get that set up and then you can copy it into the others.
