Question
How do I add columns to the middle of the document without changing the format of the entire document?
In Word, type the lines of text in a single column anywhere in the document. Then, select the lines of text and click the Page Layout tab. In the Page Setup options, click Columns and select the desired number of columns. Word automatically creates continuous section breaks before and after the columns. In some cases, it may be impossible to do without changing the format of the document.

This is our first responsive icon pack. Each icon was created in four different sizes with different level of detailing. First, each icon has a small and large version, just like on the Microsoft Office toolbar Office ribbon: 16×16 px icons and 30x30px icons. Second, each icon has the low-res (40×40 px) and HD (80×80 px) version. This results in four sizes, each of which is a separate drawing created manually.
The consistent icon pack fits any application in Microsoft Office style. Also, these neat color icons can work effectively as clip art images for SlideShare and PowerPoint presentations, landing pages, newsletters, cards, and other creative projects.
Download free responsive Office icons on various themes. The graphics are available in both png and vector.
As well, welcome to check new icons and popular icons in 30+ design styles.

Update: You can now turn this off in recent versions of Word for Office 365 (possibly Word 2016, and 2019 too)! Thanks to Lene Fredborg, who commented on this post (below), the solution is File > Options > Advanced, Display section, clear the Show pop-up buttons for adding rows and tables.
I’ll leave the original post here for the workaround for those on earlier versions that don’t have this option.
**************
Since Word 2013 (Word for Windows, not sure about Mac), you haven’t been able to select a table row or column easily from outside the row/column, without inadvertently inserting what you’re trying to select! Instead of hovering the cursor immediately to the left of the row/above the column and then clicking to select, Microsoft added these (not so) helpful tools that insert a new row/table, and you have to fiddle with the mouse a bit to move the cursor a tad further away to get table row/column select mode. I suspect they added this icon for those using touch screens, but they are more of a curse than a help to desktop users with a keyboard and mouse. More times than not, when I want to select a row/column to delete it, I end up clicking one of these ‘helpful’ icons and add a new row/column instead, which means I now have to delete two rows/columns! This is what one of these not so helpful icons looks like when you hover your cursor to the left of a row:
A quick search of the main websites for Word issues indicates that there’s no way to turn these things off.
Possible solution
However, I did come across a way to disable them that may be useful if you have a lot of table manipulation to do, and that’s to switch to draft view, where these tools won’t appear. Switching to draft view is clumsy in itself (Microsoft inexplicably took away the Draft icon from the icons on the right of the status bar several versions ago), but it may be the solution you need if you’re fiddling with the rows/columns on a large table or on several tables:
- To switch to draft view, go to View > Draft.
- To switch back to print layout view, click the relevant icon in the status bar, or go to View > Print Layout.
