Table, page layout tab, 'columns' cmd
I have a 3 column table 12 pages long; I want to show more entries of the
table on a page, but the 'column' cmd will not work. Incidentally, the word 'column' is used 2 ways in the application: a) 'column's in a table b) 'column's per page I want the table to appear in more than 1 column on the 'page'. Thanks. |

I think you're confusing two features: tables, and [snaking/newspaper]
columns.

Did not make things clearer.
I want to know how to 'snake' a multi-page table into columns on fewer numbers of pages. Karl "Herb Tyson [MVP]" wrote: I think you're confusing two features: tables, and [snaking/newspaper] columns.

Table, page layout tab, 'columns' cmd
Put the cursor in the first cell then format columns two columns. The
table should shrink and reflow into two columns.

1. where is 'format'?
2. I have been able to snake tables in the past without being unable to read the content. Each row has a 3 columns: first column of 2 characters, second column has 1 character, and the third column has 11 characters. Should be able to snake this into at least 3 'snakes' per page. Thanks.

Format - in Word versions up to 2003 is on the main menu bar.
In Word 2007, columns are on the Page Layout tab -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Karl wrote: 1. where is 'format'? 2.
