You may want to use a slightly different procedure, depending on whether you’re creating a brand-new document or you’re inserting a multi-column layout into the middle of an existing single-column document.


Once you’ve inserted your columnar data, then go back to the Format Columns dialog box and choose the One Column format (being careful to once again choose This Point Forward in that bottom drop-down), and your document will return to the single-column format without disturbing the multi-column insertion you’ve just worked so hard on.īut what if you want to insert a two- or three- (or more-) column block of text into the middle of a one-column, normal document? If you choose This Point Forward, that will allow you to insert columns at the point your cursor is sitting in.
