Newspaper-style columns are the standard columns in newspapers or magazines and are the only type supported by Word 2003 with right-to-left features enabled. Text from one column continues into the next. When the last column of a page is filled, the text continues to the first column of the next page, similar to the left-to-right document. We can specify the width of each column separately. In right-to-left sections, the column direction is also right to left, with a page’s first column on the right side of the page and the last column on the left. For sections with left-to-right text, the direction is reversed. Columns can be made as
- Switch to print layout view

- On the Standard toolbar, click Columns or in Format menu click Columns
- Select the number of columns and their width we want
In case you want to adjust the column widths and spacing, drag the column markers on the horizontal ruler.
