Columns

In Word, the user is able to insert newspaper style columns. Columns often make a text heavy document easier to read. A column is one or more vertical blocks of content positioned on a page, separated by gutters. A gutter is the white space that separates the columns. The gutter spaces helps the eye read down the column instead of across. When a document is first created, it is in the One column format. The users can create columns within the whole document or divide the document into sections and then apply the column formatting to just the section.
