Devi, Go into word's page setup option File/Page setup. Go to paper and choose custom. Choose a rediculously large amount as the paper length--20" should do it. You'll be able to fit in multiple columns. you can also increase the paper width. I'm not certain what Microsoft Word's maximum number is. Feel freeto remove picture place holders and odd symbols that result from that process. Hope this helps. Let us know if you have more questions. regards, Pratik _____ From: bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of devi ramaseshan Sent: Friday, December 29, 2006 3:25 PM To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: Vegetarian cook book Sharon thanks for your reply. In word if you pull down the format menu and pick columns and apply to the document it should work. But in this case it is going to be hard .When two columns is made one the number of pages can be doubled. Also there are big blank spaces and when I try to use the above method, I assume it may become messy.Any suggestions guys? devi Sharon <mt281820@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: It's better not to have columns in scanned books. It's better for us to read one column, and have the next column below the first.

For vegeatarians it is a great book. Many of the spices listed are the ones that I use.Some of the receipes that I see, I have been doing them. Coming to formating this book I have some questions.Definitely I need all your help.The formating is little bit different. * I see the print matter in columns (2 or 3) in most pages.Can I keep the same format?I am doing for the first time such a format. * I also see big blank spaces in some pages. I assume these spaces correspond to pictures in the print book. I find it hard to get rid of these spaces. Is it okay if I keep the spaces? * Also I see big vertical lines in many pages. I assume these lines may correspond to the borders for the pictures.I can get rid of them by just placing the mouse on them and the cursor becomes a 4 pointed arrow.Then I hit delete key. But there are very small vertical lines that do not get deleted. Can I do any global replace. If so what are the key words used? * I have not seen braille books that use columns. Are braille books available in columns? This is only for my information. Many Many thanks for your time and patience. devi Elizabeth and Burton <thoth93@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: Thank you for the vegetarian cookbook.
