I am making a DVD database with reports listing the movies. I want to have
two columns of text boxes listing the titles of the movies on one page of the
report. So when the text gets to the end of a page, instead of stating a new
page, overflow into the next column on the page then when that column is full
go to the next page. For example titles 1-25 in the first column one page 1,
titles 26-50 in the second column on page 1 and titles 51-75 in column one on
page 2.
I am using office 97 and 2003.

Click to expand...


Column settings is in the File - Page Setup - Columns menu
item. Make sure the detail section width is narrow enough
for two columns on the page (less margins).

To get a text box to expand to contain more than one line of
data, set the text box's CanGrow property to Yes.
