i'm newly w/MS word for OS X (NOT the newest word; the 1st one for OS X)
anyway, if i had pages of a list, i could easily choose 'create columns' in OS 9, and it would ask me, 1 column? 2 columns? 3 columns? etc.
where is this tool now? i can't find it. tried futzing w/'tables' but that didn't seem to be it
any help would be appreciated
thanks

Is the Columns option under the Format menu what you're looking for?

hi,
i don't have a columns option under formats
maybe they fixed this for the newest word
i've got word X, i.e. the 1st word for OS X. there has been at least one newer version since (which i can't use cuz it's just too slow w/all the new bells and whistles, for the large word docs i use)
any other thoughts? thanks

Word v.X had columns, too, and it's under the format menu as the previous poster described. Maybe something is wrong with your Word installation (e.g., the Normal template is corrupt)?

It's right under the Borders one for me. You can go to Tools > Customize and put it back up there.

"Microsoft Word X for Mac" is the version in the about box. I don't believe there was a paid Mac OS X version before it.

Yeah I use Word X too and columns should be there. Your menu is certainly a bit odd, because I don't have the plain text, bold, italic, underline options. This seems very strange. Can you go to about Word and tell us the exact version you have? I think Chuckit was right in saying there is no other version of Word before X that runs on OS X. Is there a stripped-down version?
