We saw some questions around columns and text wrapping in Word popping-up in the blogosphere recently, so in today's Q&A:
QUESTION 1 – How do I layout part of my document in columns?
If you want text (only in a specific area) to be in two columns, then
If you want pictures to be in two columns, then you can
QUESTION 2 – How do I get my figures/images/objects on the right side of my document and the text to wrap around the right aligned figure/image/object?
This will cause a new "Format" tab to appear at the top of the application
This will cause the "Advance Layout" dialog to appear.
You'll see the options for which side you want to wrap on become available.
The text in your document should now wrap around the left side of your figure or image, so you will be able to place the image on the right side of your document.
You may also want to try using our "Position" dropdown if you want to place the figure or picture in a pre-defined location. Choosing a position in this dropdown automatically applies the text wrapping you need.

I noticed that the gallery panes are transparent in your pics. Is it possible to get them transparent in xp as i find it quite aanoying to not be able to see the live previews when they are hidden behind the panes.
My son purchased Office XP for his PC a couple of years ago. Recently, his PC experienced a lightning hit which blew out the Power Converter and the CPU, so he now has to purchase a new PC and discard the old one. Can he use the Office XP which he purchased previously for his new PC. If yes, does he need some special approval from Microsoft or should it "just work when installed"? Thanks,
Hi, I jump to here from Joel Friend's now-stale office blog with a question for Joel. But since he moved on for better things, well, I will shoot this one here: How can I turn on the Developer tab on ribbon in Blog.dotx ? I tried route suggested by msdn.microsoft.com/.../aa434077.aspx, but I cannot add VBA in blog.dotx. All I need is to have developer tab showing up like in normal.dotm, so that I can customize blog post format. Any suggestion?
Thanks

Hi, i heavily miss a much better "Find all" functionality listing all occurrences of a search (in a search pane for example). This would be very helpful especially in large documents be cause it prevents from travelling sequentially through all search results.
Most document handling software (like Acrobat Reader's Shift-Ctrl-F) provides this helpful feature, so i would like to see it in Word as well. Any workarounds or addins? Thanks

Hey all. Not sure if I'm in the right place. But I am desperate to find help. I haven't had to create a document that has text boxes with drop downs in it in a while, and I've forgotten how. I also need the document to allow for minimal changes. This is for a questionnaire. Where I only want the individual participating to have the ability to click inside the text boxes or the drop downs and complete the info, everything else would be protected. I would prefer for the document to have the ability to click in the first editable text box and then tab from there on. Similar to this webpage. Any help? Thanks!

Thank you for the informative post. Unfortunately, I am still unable to get tex wrapping to work in Word. I follow each step as directed (actually it's very nicely set up in Word for easy execution), but it just doesn't work. Nothing happens. I am using the latest version of Word. I am using a template. Maybe one of these has something to do with the problem--I just don't know anymore. Any help is appreciated.
hey everyone. I am trying to make business cards for my daughter, and we have the hidden text on the page so you have the layout of the business cards in the backroud. the hidden text came with text boxes on a few of the business cards spaces already. because it wont let me copy the text box i double clicked it and it said it was text wrapping. so i was just wondering how i could make more of the text wrapping boxes because when you draw a text box instead it doesnt fit all of what she wants in it.
Hello great blog – question.
I would like to produce a HTML e-mail newletter and have noticed that when testing e-mails that outlook 2007 renders the e-mails differently than normal HTML (have seen the article about the subset HTML word uses).
To get round this problem I have started using tables to set my e-mail layout and then placed my images in the table. Unfortunately there is always a gap around the image (even if I set borders to 0px and alike) I always get a very small border space to the left. All I would like is the image to fill 100% of a table cell as I could tell it to do in HTML...even setting sizes leaves a little bit of white space. Any ideas – please – thanks.
