Excel XP - 2 Column Pages
In Word it is possible to have column breaks on pages. That is, if the page
was set to have 2 columns, inserting large text would flow in the 2nd column instead on the next page. What I like to know, is it possible in Excel to flow inserted text/data so that instead of it continuing on the next page, it would flow back on the same page and in other columns? Why I ask, is I have data that's 10 characters, 500 rows, I like to insert this data into Excel but have it auto flow in as many columns as it can on a page before doing the same on the next page. I don't use Excel to much, and not familiar on creating macros or scripts. If that is the answer, then please give some extra instructions on "How TO". Thanks, MarkC |

No, excel does not work as a word processor, you can however paste special
