When entering text into Word columns, it can be a battle trying to get the text to balance. Mary Ann Richardson explains how to let Word fight the battle for you and keep your columns in line.
Column-formatted
text looks more professional with the text balanced across the columns. You don’t
have to manually set column breaks and move text around on a page to make your
columns even—let Word do the work for you. Follow these steps:
Word inserts a continuous section break that automatically balances the text equally
among the columns.
If
you want to start a new page after the balanced columns, click after the
continuous section break, and then insert a manual page break by pressing [Ctrl][Enter].
