Default Column format

I'm trying to create a letterhead that prints the Advisory Board members on
the left side (1.5" column) and keeps the second column free for text, but
every time I create two columns, it goes into newsletter format and spreads
the names of the Advisory Board over both columns. Is there some way to keep
that text in the first column?

See the "More complex letterhead" example at

Default Column Format...change to margin format

Try increasing the (I assume) left margin to 1.5-2" and don't use columns. You can use a text box to enclose your logo and the board members. Format the text box without a border and then you can float it anywhere...like the left side of the page you wanted. Good luck!
