there may be some times where you want
to layout the page in columns for
example in this document there's a lot
of unused space over here on the right
so if I have two columns it will fill
that space and in this case everything
will be able to fit on one page
to change the number of columns go to
the page Layout tab and go to columns
and I'm going to select two columns
this doesn't look exactly the way I
expected it to what I actually wanted
was for this title to still go all the
way across the page and for the columns
to be below it so I need to use a
section break to separate these two
parts of the document
I'm going to undo this to go back to a
single column and put the insertion
point where you want the columns to
start and then go to breaks and under
section breaks select continuous because
we want this to stay on the same page
and you may also have to add a section
break at the end of the columns but
since I don't have anything after these
columns I don't need to worry about that
now just select the number of columns
and it should show up correctly
now these items don't look quite right
because they should be grouped with the
other shelter items now I can move the
other shelter items to the second column
using a column break and then it's going
to look the way I want
place the insertion point where you want
the break to be and then go to breaks
and then column
and you can see now that the columns
line up nicely now you don't have to use
column breaks all the time but they can
be very useful when you're trying to
fine-tune the layout of your columns
