How to Create an Attractive Article in Word 2013
First I want to make better use of the paper by reducing the margins. To change the margins of a document, go to the “PAGE LAYOUT” tab and click “Margins”. Here you can select from a number of pre-defined margin settings. You can also define exactly how wide you want the margins to be by clicking “Custom” and entering the exact measurements. I’ll click Cancel here and go back to the Margin settings. If you have set up custom margins before, the last used custom settings are available on the menu. In this case, I’ll select “Narrow” margins and as you can see the text now fills out more of the page.
How to arrange text in columns in Word?
Now I want to change the layout of the text into two columns. I want the title or the headline and the sub-headline to remain in one column, I only want the body text of the article to be arranged into two columns. To arrange text into columns, mark the text you want to re-arrange. To mark large chunks of text place the marker at the beginning of the text and then scroll down to the end, hold down Shift on the keyboard and then mark the end of the text. On the “PAGE LAYOUT” tab click “Columns.” Select the number of columns you want, here I’ll select “Two” columns.
The text is now arranged into two columns. If you want to change the spacing between the columns open up the ruler by clicking the “VIEW” tab and then mark the “Ruler” option. To change the width between the columns, move your mouse until it becomes a double-sided arrow, now hold down the left mouse button and then move the marker with your mouse.
