How do I get more than 4 columns in a Word 2003 document?
Wartboy 12/27/2008 5:34:01 PM
My choices to divide the page seem to be 1,2,3,or 4 columns...I need 6, or 12.
Can this be done

You can enter any number you want in the Columns dialog, which is accessed
via the Format menu in Word 2003 and earlier and via Page Layout | Page
Setup | Columns | More Columns... in Word 2007. See also

With 6 or 12 columns, are you sure that it really is columns you require
or a table?

No...I need columns, for making a custom calendar. Suzanne's advice worked
great, using the Format/Columns menu. But, thanks for your interest!

Happy 2009,
Wartboy

In that case I would definitely use a table rather than columns.

It would need to be a nested table if he's doing what I imagine he's doing,
which is to put all 12 months on a single page.
