= SUMMARY =

There are two types of columns in Microsoft Word for the Macintosh: newspaper columns and side-by-side paragraphs.

With newspaper columns, text completely fills one column and continues at the top of the next column. Text simply flows from column to column providing little control over where paragraphs are located on the page. Side-by-side paragraphs allow you to specify which paragraphs are positioned next to each other on the page.

Word versions 4.0 and later also provide a table feature that is useful for table and column formatting. For more information, query on the following words:

Macintosh and word and table and application note
