[mso] Isolate 3-Column Formatting (Word2003)

To All,

I produce a newsletter every month that is formatted in single column on most 
pages, but one page is in 3-column format. How to isolate that 3-column 
formatting from the pages that precede it? I am using Word2003.

The 3-column page contains a listing of standard info (contacts and schedules) 
that gets very few updates from month to month. The pages that precede and 
follow the 3-column "contacts" page are all very different from month to 
month. Since I use the current month's document as the starting point for each 
succeeding month, I want to delete multiple pages ahead of the "contacts" page 
and insert new text and graphics. Every time I delete preceding pages, the 
formatting for the whole document changes to 3 columns. My work-around is to 
leave one sentence of old material ahead of the "contacts" page, insert the 
new material, then go back and remove the old sentence.

I have tried isolating the 3-column page by preceding it with a hard page 
break or a continuous section break, but those devices don't isolate the 
3-column formatting. I have no corresponding problem in isolating the 1-column 
pages that follow the 3-column page.

Please tell me a reliable procedure for isolating the 3-column page from the 
rest of the document.

Thank you.

Ray Shapp
