using wordpad

I want to create a document in two columns in vista but cant seem to find out
how. I am used to going into 'format' and then 'columns' in my old windows.
Help!

Hi Alex--

I'd think going to format>paragraph>indentation>inches>allignment right and
allignment center. If that doesn't do it, I'd use Word (you can use Office
2007 free for 60 days). You could also use something like NotePad XP

Good luck,

Wordpad is a very simple editor and does not include many of the advanced
features of Microsoft Word or other word processors.

WordPad is nothing but a glorified text editor, and is far from a
full-featured word processor. If you need to produce anything more
complex than a simple text document, almost certainly you should
acquire a real word processor. Choices include Microsoft Word,
WordPerfect, the inexpensive StarOffice, and the freeware Open Office.

OpenOffice.org is not freeware - it is Open Source.

I also should have mentioned this Alex and again you can download Office
2007 Pro and try it full functionality for 60 days at
http://office.microsoft.com

Abiword
http://www.abisource.com/
Replaces Microsoft Word

Want a good word processor but find Microsoft Word too expensive? AbiWord is
my favorite replacement for Word. It’s lightweight (meaning it runs quickly)
and includes pretty much every feature that I use regularly in a word
processor, plus it can save files in formats that you can exchange with Word
and WordPerfect users, plus open any of their files, too.
