That helped me!MeWed, 03 Jun 2009 16:32:26 -0000http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/1971/powerpoint_2007_how_to_create_text_columns/#comment-10372278Wait, 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 loljulianMon, 01 Jun 2009 21:47:26 -0000http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/1971/powerpoint_2007_how_to_create_text_columns/#comment-10364325This did not work, I couldnt select two columns it was not active whatever I tried..JulianMon, 01 Jun 2009 16:57:22 -0000http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/1971/powerpoint_2007_how_to_create_text_columns/#comment-9128584This 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...<br><br>1. I made the text box too small to fit text.<br>2. I selected all text in text box.<br>3. This caused the "Stop fitting text to placeholder" box to appear on the left of the text box.<br>4. Use the drop-down arrow and the last option is "Split into 2 columns"<br><br>Hope that helps someone.ColinFri, 08 May 2009 10:35:10 -0000http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/1971/powerpoint_2007_how_to_create_text_columns/#comment-8782546Did you select your text first?suzanTue, 28 Apr 2009 14:19:51 -0000http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/1971/powerpoint_2007_how_to_create_text_columns/#comment-6071150For some reason two and three are grayed out. Any ideas why? Thanks.TimSat, 07 Feb 2009 14:37:21 -0000
