How to create and format columns in Google Docs?

To create and format columns in Google Docs, follow these steps:

  1. Open Google Docs and open a new or existing document.
  2. Select the text that you want to format into columns. If you want to create columns for the entire document, press Ctrl + A (Windows) or Command + A (Mac) to select all the text.
  3. Click on the "Format" menu at the top of the screen.
  4. In the dropdown menu, hover over "Columns" and select the desired number of columns (2 or 3).
  5. The text will be formatted into columns, but the width and spacing may need adjustments.
  6. To adjust column width, go to the ruler at the top of the page. Click and drag the blue markers to change the width of each column.
  7. To adjust spacing between columns, go back to the "Columns" option in the "Format" menu. Select "More options."
  8. In the "Custom column width" section, you can enter precise measurements for column width and spacing.
  9. You can also choose whether to apply the column formatting to the entire document or just the selected text.
  10. Once you have made all the desired adjustments, click "Apply" to finalize the changes.

Note: The column formatting in Google Docs only affects the current page. If you want to apply columns to multiple pages, you will need to repeat the steps on each page individually.
