How to Make a Three

1. Start Microsoft Word 2007. Load a document or begin a new one.
2. Click the document where the three-column list should begin.
3. Click the 'Page Layout' tab in the menu at the top of the screen.
4. Click 'Columns' in the Page Setup group. Choose 'Three' in the menu that drops down. This automatically changes the page layout so it contains three columns rather than one.
5. Click the 'Home' tab on the menu. Find the Paragraph group. The top row contains options for creating lists. Choose bullets, numbers or multilevel.
6. Type your list. Press 'Enter' after each item. Word automatically formats the items as a list. When you reach the end of the first column, your list continues in the second column; when you reach the end of the second column, the list continues in the third.
