seperate columns

[bd1618]

How do I get text to flow down the same column in a multi column page?
(so the left and right colulmns are seperate)

That is what it does, flow down the left hand column and then down the
right.

If you want to enter text into both columns and keep that items in each
column together, use a table instead of columns created by using
Format>Columns.

Hope this helps.

What I am trying to do is make the columns independant of each other.

<<That is what it does, flow down the left hand column and then down the

right.>>

I am trying to make the left column flow down the left column only, and the
rigtht column only flow down the right.

I did use Format>Columns. as suggested, but cant seem to disconect them.
I am trying to but sidebars and graphics in the left column.

Columns are not what you want. A table may or may not be what you want.
Possibly http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/MarginalText.htm is what you
want.
