Yes, it is in Word 2013, and I used the tables style, with 2 separate columns.
Sorry for the lack of more details.

I don’t really understand your question. If the document is in the form of a
table, with two columns and many rows, DBT will attempt to use braille table
formatting rules. If it is in two columns (newspaper style) where the text
flows from the bottom of the left column into the top of the right column, DBT
will treat it as one column. This is assuming that you are doing this in Word.
You really need to display codes in DBT and read some documentation in order to
understand what is going on. If you really need two columns in braille, you
will need to learn about tab stops, the grouping codes and probably other
things.

Subject: [duxuser] Columns in a braille document
Good morning one and all. I have a question regarding columns in a document. I
finally figured out how to create a document that has two columns (one on the
left and one on the right). When I send this document to DBT, are there any
specific layout commands for having the exact information translated into a
braille document? Many thanks.
