In MS Word, what is the maximum number of columns a page can be divided into using the Columns command?
Answer: B
Correct answer: Thirteen on A4 in portrait
The Columns command offers presets for one, two and three columns plus Left and Right, and the More Columns dialogue allows a number to be typed. The maximum is limited by page width rather than by a fixed figure: each column must be at least half an inch wide, which on A4 in portrait works out at about thirteen. A landscape page allows more. Column layout is a section property, so a two-column block inside a one-column document requires Continuous section breaks above and below it. Selecting the text before applying columns inserts them automatically. Text flows down the first column and then to the top of the next. A column break, Ctrl + Shift + Enter, forces the flow to the next column early. The dialogue also controls the spacing between columns and whether a vertical line is drawn between them.
