SYMPTOMS
When you save a Word document formatted as multiple columns as a Web page (on the File menu, click Save as Web Page), when you view your Web page in a Web browser, the column format is lost.

NOTE: To format your Word document as multiple columns, click Columns on the Format menu.



CAUSE
This functionality is by design in Microsoft Word 2000. A document that is formatted as multiple columns is converted to a single-column format when you save the document as a Web page.

For additional information about features that are not supported by Web browsers, please click the article number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

WORKAROUND
To retain the appearance of multiple columns in a Web page, create the Web page by using a table.

For more information about creating a table, click Microsoft Word Help on the Help menu, type table in the Office Assistant or the Answer Wizard, and then click Search to view the topics returned.
