<div>
I'm trying some tables.<br />
<br />
On the columns I have trouble getting from one column to another. I know to go from column two to column one is to place the cursor or marker beside the first letter in the text in column two then the back arrow key and we are back in column one. How to go back to column two is one problem. <br />
<br />
What Paul has posted is what we need but the text and two photos must be small enough to paste to a 5x8 inch index card.<br />
That photos looks close to the right height. <br />
<br />
We have what may work using tables. The only issue is the photo in the third table. It has a wrap around it and we can try to drag the right side of the image to get it as far right as we need and it moves but the left side of the image moves with it and when we drag the left side back to the left the entire photo moves back to the left.<br />
<br />
When we used columns there was too much space between the photo and the text (two columns, one photo in column one and text in column two).<br />
<br />
I'll keep experimenting with columns and tables.<br />
---------------------<br />
Paul: this we have never understood: &nbsp;<br />
Step 2: In this line, insert a Column Break<br />
&nbsp;<br />
I have always opened the Word document to create a new document, page layout &gt;&nbsp;columns &gt;&nbsp;two columns &gt;&nbsp;breaks &gt;&nbsp;columns. <u>I do that before pasting a photo and text</u>. <br />
I'm supposed to insert a column break after I have added photos and text?

<br />
Both ways would work...I personally would first insert my photos and text and then format to columns, check it, make changes and then insert the desired column breaks. &nbsp;But that is just me... :)

<div>
Give me the weekend to try things.<br />
I have never gone to page layout &gt;&nbsp;columns &gt;&nbsp;two columns &gt;&nbsp;break &gt;&nbsp;column <b>after</b> having begun the document.<br />
One issue on the two column is there is too much space between the photo and the text. With a photo on the left and text on the right, I need as much room as I can get.<br />
<br />
There have been many times and I am on column one and can not figure out how to get back to column two.<br />
I know how to go from column two to column one which I have begun to do after I am finished with the text.<br />
<br />
I've got one with three tables and unlimited rows (meaning the row is not on page 1. <br />
I've got those two photos and the text in table number two to be fairly close to desired.<br />
<br />
I know how to go from column two to column one. Why is there not an easy way to go from column one to column two? I'm sure there is.<br />
<br />
Everything I am trying to do is with photos about 3.5 x 4.5 inches and placed in the left column and as much text as will fit at a decent sized font in the 2nd column and the text does not extend past the bottom of the photo. Print and done.<br />

please be clear with the question. I understood that you want a document with THREE COLUMNS. <br />
<br />
however in your subsequent comments you keep referring to a document with 2 columns...<br />

Yyyyyyyy-one-column.docx

<div>
I have names and photos. One of them has two photos. This is the only need for three columns or tables. I have got the 3 tables ready to be printed.<br />
The others the text can be in column one or column two and the photo in the other column. Or maybe two tables would work there too.<br />
<br />
I have never paused after creating the columns, I went straight to column break. I did not know the break could be added. One issue I seem to have with two columns is I paste the photo in column one and text in column two and I know how to get from column to back to column one. <br />
<br />
I have some troubles going <b>from column 1</b> to column 2 to make changes.<br />

How to maneuver with three columns MS Word?

Microsoft Word is a commercial document editing program that is part of the Microsoft Office suite. It features numerous text-editing tools for creating richly formatted documents, along with tools for the use of macros in Word documents. Word's native file formats are denoted either by a .doc or .docx file extension. Plugins permitting the Windows versions of Word to read and write formats it does not natively support, such as the OpenDocument format (ODF) are available. Word can import and display images in common bitmap formats such as JPG and GIF. It can also be used to create and display simple line-art.
