Problems wif Word (1 Viewer)

[lilkiwifruit]

I'm typing up notes on Germany and Britain and i want to put them in columns side by side with each other so the reader can compare the stats on both countries...but the problem is..im a complete retard when it comes to microsoft word and its functions and i've tried to press that " make 2 columns" button and it doesn't work like i want it to

something like this :

Germany Britain
--- ----
--- -----

yea I can hear you laughing but please , i would really appreciate it if you could help me ! thanx!

maybe you aren't selecting everything before you press the make 2 columns button

you could also try copying and pasting to order it correctly after you make the columns

try table>insert>tables. chose 2 columns and say 10 rows (you can add/delete them later as you wish)

the thing is..i want my notes on britain and germany to be side by side ...not 2 columns of britain following on under the notes ive made on germany...
I hope i explained that right

 

[redruM]

umm...once you have 2 columns, use the right side for one and the left for another?

Do what reDruM said.

Make a table with 2 column and 1 row (2 rows with titles), but make sure to turn off border lines so it "looks" like columns.
