How to Convert Two Columns to


One Column in Word

Microsoft Word 2013 supports using numerous columns in a document. Though a two-column,
newspaper format makes text convenient to scan, it's not well-suited for typical reports, reference
materials, title pages and many documents. To convert all or part of your document from two
columns to one column, Word provides a convenient, clickable method.

Step 1
Click and drag your mouse over the portion of text
that you want to be a single column. Alternatively,
click a starting point, hold the Shift key and click
the ending position to select all text in-between.
Your selection does not need to include an entire
paragraph or section of the column — you can
begin and end the selection anywhere.

How to Rotate a Table in


Microsoft Word

Although Microsoft Word incorporates robust table capabilities, each version of the application
treats tables somewhat differently. This causes confusion for many users, who may opt instead to
space out text with tabs or spaces. In Microsoft Word 2007 and 2010, tables have two dedicated
ribbons, one for design and one for layout, that give you control over nearly any aspect of a table
you can think of. Although you cannot rotate the table in one elegant move, rotating the text and
then adjusting the cell dimensions accomplishes the task.

Step 1
Select an entire table in a Word document, then click the "Layout" tab.

Step 2
Click the "Text Direction" button in the Alignment group to rotate the table 90 degrees clockwise.
Click again to rotate 180 degrees, 270 degrees from the start -- Word assumes you do not want an
upside-down table, nor does it allow a freely rotated table, slanting to odd degrees.

Step 3
Adjust cell borders by clicking and dragging as necessary.
