The number of columns of text that can be made on a page depends on several factors, including the page size, font size, line spacing, and the desired width of each column. For example, a standard letter-sized page (8.5 x 11 inches) can typically accommodate 2 to 4 columns of text, depending on these parameters. Additionally, using narrower columns may increase the number of columns that fit, while larger fonts and wider margins will reduce that number. Ultimately, the layout design will dictate the final arrangement.
Text that fills multiple columns on a page.
1. Columns make it easier to read a large amount of text. 2. Using columns allows you to fit more text on the page. 3. For a page with a lot of text, columns make it look neater when printed.
Create your text documents with the number of columns you like.Insert a picture anywhere on the page you want.Format the picture (Text wrapping | Square).I tested this with Word 2007 on a page with three columns. Was able to span all three columns and text wrapped with no problem.
Sure, that is as good a way as any to change columns.

If you go to Print Preview on the File menu, you will see this.You can also set the amount of columns before starting to type the text, in the same way. Also, on the standard toolbar, there is a columns icon which you can use.If you are typing text, it will continue to the end of the page before going into the next column. You may want text to move into a new column before that, which is simple to do. To start a new column, go to the Insert menu, pick Break and then Column Break. Any text from that point on will be in a new column.

You can the Text to Columns facility.
You can balance columns of unequal length on a page by inserting a continuous section break at the end of the last column on the page. You can also try a column break to move text from one column into another. This may take a little experimentation to get it right.
