How to Balance Columns in Word 2007

1. Select the text that is laid out in columns.
2. Click the 'Page Layout' tab and then the 'Columns' drop-down. Click on 'More Columns....'
3. Choose a new preset, if one suits your layout.
4. Change any non-preset options as you like. The number of columns can go up to 13 on a letter-size page with normal margins and portrait orientation -- more or less for different paper sizes, orientation and margins. Check the 'Equal column width' box to balance the columns equally or specify the width and spacing of each column.
