page layout

[Wendy]

I know how to create columns, but I also need to create
rows. I need to divide my page into four equal sections,
but I am not sure how. I've tried doing this in both word
and excel, to no avail. I am trying to send out quarter-
sheet fliers. Any suggestions? Please advise.

Thanks!

This is *much* easier to do in Publisher, but if you're limited to Word you
can do it either with paragraph spacing, duplicating the text in the top
half of the column at the bottom, or by using a table. If you choose the
latter, it might seem most natural to make a 2x2 table, but you'll probably
find that 3x3 works better. Format the center column to be twice as wide as
your outside margins and the center row to be twice the height of the top
and bottom margins, then split the remaining height between the top and
bottom rows. This will give you four equal rectangles with equal margins on
all sides.
