Re: How do I create document with Multiple Columns? ddearco 11/13/11 6:58 PM  Well...duh!! Colums are a part of creating Documents!! What you waiting for??? If you upload a doc it should remain in the original format. How can we do price lists etc.??

Re: How do I create document with Multiple Columns?

It was about 10 hours
Re: How do I create document with Multiple Columns? Dignan17 11/24/11 12:25 PM It amazes me that there still isn't column support in Google Docs. I remember creating columns in WordPerfect 5.1 on DOS. Please add this soon, Google. In searching these forums, it looks like people have been asking for it for a few years...

Re: How do I create document with Multiple Columns? herbudaman 12/5/11 4:48 AM Well as a person responsible for bringing Google docs to my company, I can tell you there is a huge disappointment on my part that you don't support columns, as well as other basic needs.

Re: How do I create document with Multiple Columns? its-me-again 12/12/11 6:03 PM Google docs has so much more potential than it currently has. yes it is good for sharing files online but without more integration. with more of the substantial features that are found in most common apps like msoffice, abiword, openoffice, star offi
Re: How do I create document with Multiple Columns? thatgirljens 12/22/11 9:17 AM once again, you create a product that is missing several basic needs.  columns are not some crazy wierd thing.  i've been making documents with columns since i used software that came on a floppy disk that was actually floppy.  i'm starting to wonder
Re: How do I create document with Multiple Columns? dotazu 12/24/11 7:41 AM PLEASE GET COLUMNS BUILT INTO GOOLGE DOCS!!!!!!  I've been waiting for this BASIC feature since Google announced late in 2010 that it would deliver a plethora of Docs updates throughout 2011.  I use columns to make quarter fold birthday cards among o

Re: How do I create document with Multiple Columns? neolor 12/30/11 10:55 AM Another vote for columns in google docs.  I am on the verge of going all google docs online, but it looks like I'll need to wait a little longer.  I seriously LOVE google products, but I am bummed they are lacking basic functions like columns.  I hop

Re: How do I create document with Multiple Columns? jrr45 1/20/12 10:33 AM My company is considering switching to google docs but multi-column support is something we need.  Some of the government formats (DOE submissions etc) require milti-column so this is necessary before we move forward.
