Hi Tracey, I think that columns are ok to have, just from having asked before, once myself. Like indexes are almost always in columns and I'm pretty sure the answer was it's ok to leave them as a column. But if you want to get rid of the columns in word here is what you do: Ctrl-H for the replace box type in ^n (that's the shift-6 and lowercase n) tab type in ^p (for a hard return) and alt-a to replace them all Hope that helps.
