Create Columns Within Text Box In. Right-click on the left text box the one that will form the left column of your multi-column layout. Sorry i could not provide a viable solution to your delima but it seems you have worked that out on your own.
I found that for this code to work in a regular text box the Multiline property had to be set to true. I would like the text to be side by side with a cell. Is in B2 and NAME is in C2.
To add even more columns or to configure the white space between each column click the More Columns button at the bottom.
The easiest way to create a document with multiple columns is to click the Columns button on the Standard toolbar and select the number of columns you want. Every time I highlight the text and click the columns button on the page layout tab it changes the columns in the table itself instead of changing the selected text into two columns. Copy link to clipboard. In the Spacing box use the arrow buttons to increase or decrease the space between columns.
