I have "balanced" columns manually many times, this technique is way better. Now I can add an delete text in my columns and have Word keep them balanced.

I like most of the tips in this column (no pun intended) but this is one I can use today!

I am a visual person and if you include visual alongside the text it would be help explain more clearly.
Thank you.
Microsoft's Word 2007 help is terrible. If you search for "columns" or "balanced columns" in its help on online system, it simply returns Word 2003 help or says it can't find anything.

So, after giving up on Microsoft to provide any help, I did some experimenting. It turns out "balanced columns" appear to be the default in Word 2007.

So if you have some normal full width text, then want some balanced column text, you simply insert a column section, type your information, then insert a continuous page break, then turn off the multiple columns.

It would be nice if Microsoft's help would have said that, or even anything about how this works in Word 2007.
