Hi David,

According to the Help on "Column break" in microsoft Word XP:

Force the start of a new newsletter-style column

Show All

Force the start of a new newsletter-style column

1. Switch to
print layout view.
2. Click where you want to start the new column.
3. On the Insert menu, click Break.
4. Click Column break.

Microsoft Word moves the text that follows the insertion point to the
top of the next column.

Text at the bottom of the first column moved to the top of the next
column

Flor and others

the method which you describe is fine insofar that columns are produced.
However, I am not convinced that the text is wrapped from the bottom of
the first column to the top of the next.
