How do I set up odd & even page manual with 2 different columns? Jennifer 28.06.2006 04:54:01 Training Manual needs to be printed double sided, containing 2 columns, smaller column for participant notes on outside of each page, larger column on inside binding edge say 1/3 to 2/3 split. Need these columns to be separated by grey line divider and 1 grey line at top of page. Would like page numbers to also appear at edges of page. I have tried columns and tables and odd & even & mirrored & page /column breaks, but can't seem to get 2 views to work in same document.

"Margaret Aldis" <Margaret.Aldis[ at ]mvps.(SpamStopper)org.invalid> 28.06.2006 08:58:58 Do you need to put any text into your participant notes column, or is it white space for participants to write in? If it is just white space, then use Mirror Margins and Different Odd and Even to get a single 2/3 width text column on the page - i.e. a wide outside margin for the notes area. In Header and Footer view, insert the page numbers from the H&F toolbar, and add your grey lines. You can also add any text that must appear on every page (for instance, if you had a "Participant Notes heading, you could put that in a text box anchored to the header or footer and positioned at the top of the wide margin) If your participant notes are part of the manual text it is more difficult, as Word doesn't handle more than one text flow well. Probably the best bet would be to use text boxes positioned in the "outside margins" set up as above (use absolute positioning to fix with respect to page or margins), and anchor each one to the relevant text. If the notes need to flow over more than one page you can link the text boxes, but there is a limit of 32 boxes in one flow, IIRC). An alternative is to use a table (use the full page width in this case, and two table columns for the two text columns.) You'll need to divide into rows to align the notes and text, and to prevent the document becoming unstable (Word doesn't handle rows extending over many pages well). Use the table borders to place your top grey and vertical lines, with internal row dividing borders set to None.
