  For some reason two and three are grayed out. Any ideas why? Thanks.

  Did you select your text first?

  This is probably too late for Tim, but I found this page while trying to understand why I had no option to create more than 1 column in PowerPoint 2007. Here's what worked for me...
  
  1. I made the text box too small to fit text.
  2. I selected all text in text box.
  3. This caused the "Stop fitting text to placeholder" box to appear on the left of the text box.
  4. Use the drop-down arrow and the last option is "Split into 2 columns"
  
  Hope that helps someone.

  Wait, I think it might have something to do with the fact that you need to have enough text in the text box that it will actually fit into two columns - I did the two columns thing and nothing happened until I kept typing but it seemed to work for lists and nothing else.. I dunno, I'm meant to be doing it for some assignment and its driving me nuts lol
