Is there a way to make the columns stay in sync with each other. For example, I write video scripts where there is a description of the visuals on the left and the matching narration in the right column. If I add a scene in the middle of the document in the left column, I want to right column to open up too to match the size in the right column to insert narration/audio instructions. I've been doing this in Excel but would rather do this in Word if there is a way.
Hi, Adam, great video thanks. I have a document which was given to me which is set up with newsletter columns. I want to add a title outside the columns, but when I try to do that Word automatically includes it inside the first column. I even tried adding the title on the previous page and then used various breaks to push it onto the next page, but no luck. How to I get it to stay outside the columns so that I can format it for the TOC? Thanks
Hi Jane, This is a little tough to solve without seeing the document. It sounds like a Text Box could work since the text box won't move unless you move it around. So you could create the text box, remove the borders, and place it where you wanted to go. I made a tutorial that might help you out with this, good luck: th-cam.com/video/avO-17od3fE/w-d-xo.html
Hi Alan, I have videos on Newsletter creation in Publisher, but not so much in Word. If you have Publisher on your computer, I recommend giving it a shot. It's very similar to Word, but has many more publication based options. Here is my playlist: th-cam.com/video/HzOd_0LqvOQ/w-d-xo.html
Is there a way to change the height of 2 out of 3 columns on a page? I would like to add an exhibit onto a page with 3 columns, so I would like two columns to be shorter than the third column to make room for the exhibit.
Hi Louise, Yes, you can manually change the Margins at the top for the entire page, then press the enter button on the two other columns to make them appear lower than the first column. I hope this helps you out, thank you for watching!
