In Word 2003 I can set up a page landscape and the make into two columns using Format and Columns. However, is there any way to create a horizontal column halfway down the page too? This would mean that halfway down the page it would then swap over to the other side of the page. Then I would be able to go to the bottom left column after.
I think your looking for the 'insert table' option from what you describe, however I hate MS Word with a vengance, never does what you want it to.......
