this is one of them. same is possible with psresize.

you also can insert three minipages like:
\begin{minipage}{3 inch}
  --- left coloumn text ---

\end{minipage}%

\hspace{0,1 inch}\begin{minipage}{3.65 inch}

  --- middle coloumn text ---
\end{minipage}%
\hspace{0.1cm}\begin{minipage}{3 inch}
  --- right coloumn text ---
\end{minipage}

the commands in tex (red)
