How to get rid of columns

[Dave]

I was experimenting with columns. But now I have columns displayed I just
can't get rid of them. It seems to have become embedded in the normal
template as well and I seem to be stuck with it. How can I remove the
column guides in the document? The help file under "remove newsletter-style
columns" says "click columns and then drag to select a single column". Well
that's a big help, thanks Microsoft!

To turn off text columns in the current document: On the Format menu,
click Columns. Click the "One" option and then click OK. Save the
file.

To get rid of column formatting in normal.dot, open it as a document
(see
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/customization/CustomizeNormalTemplate.htm),
and then repeat the steps above.

Thanks, but I realise what I needed to do in fact was to switch off "text
boundaries" that was causing an annoying box round the page.

I'm glad you found a solution. Note, however, that text boundaries can
be useful at times, because they make it easier to see (say) text
boxes and frames without border lines.
