formatting pages differently

[Maura Mathers]

I am trying to put together a presentation that reuires
different formatting for many pages. I have discovered
how to change selected text from landscape to portrait but
can not figure out how to turn colums on & off.

My first page needs to be portait. My second page is
landscape and columns. I can portrait the first page but
it keeps picking up th ecolums definition on the second
page. How can I remove the columns definition for the
first page but keep it for the second?

Highlight the text that you don't want in columns and
click Format/Columns and choose One.

Whenever you change orientation, margins, column layout, and so on, you must
insert a section break. Some changes require a "Next page" break; columns
require just a "Continuous" break. Word will insert the breaks for you if
you enter your text first, then select the text you want in more than one
column (leaving at least one paragraph above and below the selection) and
use either the Columns button on the Formatting toolbar or Format | Columns.
