Format in Word 2000

[primerov]

Is it possible to extend the text into an A4 format? I am scanning a newspaper column
into Word and the word documents sets the scanned text into the left side of the page
and i want to extend the text into a full A4 format.Is it possible to do it ?

Scanning AS TEXT?
Sure...

Turn on your show/hide button.
What is keeping the text from moving down the first column?

You can select and change the style. But also check whether each line has a 'return' at the end, which means it is the same paragraph but a new line. You might find it useful to turn on [Formatting Marks] for [View] on[Options] under the [Tools] menu.

if it is returns, you might be stuck with replacing them one at a time, and also putting a space in place of the return. Or you could use Word's own column options.
