= SUMMARY =

Word versions 5.0 and 5.1
Although the steps for Word 4.0 and 3.0 can be used, one, two, or three columns can be inserted quickly by clicking on the desired column indicator on the ribbon. When inserted, the section is formatted as No Break which differs from previous versions which set the start of a section to New Page.

Word versions 3.0 and 4.0
In a multiple-column section in a Microsoft Word document, you can specify where a column breaks (without inserting extra carriage returns) by doing the following:


 * 1) Position your insertion point at the beginning of the line of text that you want to move to the next column.
 * 2) Press COMMAND+ENTER to create a section break.
 * 3) From the Format menu, choose Section.
 * 4) For Start, select New Column. Click OK.
