How do I remove newspaper type columns from a Word document.

[jimi885]

I have Windows XP and Office Professional.
When I work in Word and copy a page or document I get a number of newspaper
columns formatted automatically into the page.
I cannot find out how to delete the columns. If I select columns in the
standard tool bar and click on one column it does not appear to have any
effect.

Sounds like you're copying tables. Try Table-->Show gridlines. Then, you may
want to hit Table-->Convert-->Table to text.
