Hopefully the Spreadsheet idea worked for a quick fix. However, you could do this in Writer by using Columns, and / or Tab Stops. The Tab Stop idea wouldn't work as well do to the "what I thought" column being longer and possibly spanning more than one line. With that in mind you could right click somewhere on the page (most times just outside the print margins works best for some reason) and click "Page" from the drop down menu. The "Page Style" Dialog box should come up with several tabs across the upper part, one of which should be labeled "Columns". Click on that. Once there you will see that you can select how many Columns, How much separation between columns, etc. -- See Ya' Howard Coles Jr. John 3:16! http://home.comcast.net/~HA-reliv --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
