I would leave the list as it is since columns can cause problems with reading 
the list.  Just leave the page breaks as they are as well because the numbering 
will still be correct even if the page is very long since the page is not being 
printed and therefore doesn't have to conform to any real page size.

  Dear Volunteers,

  At long last I'm almost ready to upload the biography of William Wallace 
  I've been validating. It's a fabulous book if you like history or have a 
  soft sppot for Scotland or heroes who give all they have for the ideal of 
  freedom with no thought to material gain or the acquisition of power.

  After the Bibliography are a few pages listing the reference numbers and the 
  book title and page where the information was obtained. In the book, this 
  information is listed in two columns. In the scan, it appears in a single 
  long list.

  Should I attempt to create the second column? I fear the list will be too 
  long for a single page in the single column format as it will have twice the 
  lines of the other pages.  Or, should I make a page break thus putting one 
  page on two pages one column per page.

  If I should be making the column, would anyone give me some hints about how 
  to tell microsoft word for windows 2000 how to do it?

  As a braille reader, I think the information would be easier to read without 
  columns, but I'm still not sure if I should make that kind of change to the 
  original text. Maybe it wouldn't matter since I wouldn't be tampering with 
  the content in any way. Only the number of pages would change and this at 
  the end of the book. The pages in the body of the text wouldn't be changed.

  thanks in advance.

  Always With Love,

  Lissi
