Setting up Columns on Word

Hi, I just started using word 2003, and I need to set up newsletter columns
for a school project. The help feature tells me to select "columns" from the
standard toolbar. I've checked to make sure that I have the standard toolbar
up, and it says that I do. I cannot for the life of me find any "columns"
button, however. Any help would be much appreciated.

The Columns button (if present) is on the Formatting toolbar, but you can
access the dialog using Format | Columns.

You may be suffering from the crazy adaptive menus. This feature hides
commands for a few seconds that you have not used recently: after the delay,
they will pop up. You can get rid of this most stupid of features by
right-clicking on a toolbar and selecting Customize. Then choose the Always
Show Full Menu option.
