Creating Columns of Text

In designing your financial statements, you may want to position a balance sheet with Assets on the left side and Liabilities and Equity on the right side.

Employing two column printing, may require you to change the page orientation from portrait (vertical) to landscape (horizontal). Changing the page orientation to landscape allows more text to fit on each line and may prevent lines of text from wrapping.

1. On the File tab, click Print, and then click Page Setup.

2. Under Scope, select the Current Page option.
3. Under 2 Column printing, select the Enable 2 Columns option.

4. In the Distance between columns box, type or select the distance between the two columns.

5. Click OK.
