The short cut way to do this is by first selecting your text box!. Check out the link above- this will show you a screen shot of indesign!. See the toolbar going across the top!? Now see at the very RIGHT end there is a "1" (kind of hard to see) and next to it is an upward and downward arrow!? That is where you can enter the number of columns you want (or just click the arrows)

Hopefully I didn't confuse you too much!!!!! :)Www@QuestionHome@Com

Hi

Make sure that you have made a text box and it is selected!.

Go to layout in the menu bar
then click on Margins and columns
A dialog box should pop up and at the bottom there is an option for columns!. It says number and then you can change the number of columns there!.

So menu bar > layout > margins and columns > columns > fill in 2!.

I hope that helped!. Otherwise go to the help menu and search since there is more than one way to do it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You don't!. You create or place your text into a single text box!. You format the PAGE into two columns!. Write or place your text into a text box in the first column!. Then create another text box in the second column

When your first textbox fills to overflowing, click on the red icon in the lower right corner, (to "capture" the text overflow) and then click into the second text box in the other colum!.

Now, these two columns are linked, so that you can add, or otherwise edit in these columns as if they were a single text box!. In other words, changes will flow back and forth in both columns as you add or delete lines of text!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
