Column Height

[Kurt Radecki]

Thanks for helping. I have a problem with a Word Document where one
column seems to bleed into another. When I view the document, it looks
as though everything is working correctly...an image in the first
column, 1 inch wide, text in the second, 3 inches wide, and image in the
third, 1 inch wide. There is 1/2 inch between the columns. When I go to
print preview, it shows part of the text column (2nd column) in the
third column where the image is supposed to be...the image is nowhere to
be found, almost as if it was pushed off the page. From the looks of it,
if I could make all of the columns a row taller, it would fix the
problem. So far, I haven't figured out how to do that.

For what it is worth, this same document printed and previewed just
fine, ie all three columns the way they should be, on a previous
revision. I made only a few minor changes between this revision and the
previous.

Thanks again for your help.

Hi Kurt,

Our we talking about table or newspaper columns? Which version of Word?
