Hi,
Ok i've wrote a project that needed to be completed on 2 columns per page.
Which i have done no problem. however, they told me now that i need to re
format the columns so that there is 0.6cm spacing between the columns, and a
left indent of -1cm and a right indent of -1cm. When i highligh all my text
and do the indenting and the spacing it means that some of my text
disappears.. if i go through each line on the left column, and press enter it
reappears on the next line, however i dont know how to access my hidden words
on the right hand column?
PLEASE HELP.

Is there an easier way to do this? as my text is meant to be justified, but
with the need to 'enter' after every line means that although it is still
justified, doesnt look like it?

I'm not sure that I fully understand your question, but for the spacing
between columns, go to Format, then Columns. There is an option to adjust the
space inbetween columns...set that to the desired amount.

For the disappearing text, I would first make sure that the requirements are
"1" not ".1". If that's not it, make sure that the page margins are set
correctly

A negative indent is an outdent, meaning that you're telling your text
to run outside the text area.

Probably you're being asked to indent your text by 1 cm on each side,
not -1.

I think there might be more going on here than Peter and Ashee suspect.
Ciara, what do you mean by "the need to 'enter' after every line"? You didn't
use tabs and hard returns to create your columns, did you?
