Figure 9-1. You can begin working with columns by using Word's predesigned templates.
- To see a preview of the different document templates, click the one you want to see. The Brochure and Directory types both include the use of columns.
Brochure uses a three-column layout in landscape mode to create a tri-fold brochure.
Directory uses a three-column layout in portrait mode to provide the template for a directory-type document.

Note
The terms landscape and portrait are layout terms used to describe the way in which a page is positioned for printing. In landscape mode, the document is printed so that the long edge of the paper is the top of the document, in 11-by-8.5-inch layout. In portrait mode, the document is printed in the traditional 8.5-by-11-inch layout.
