Word list in 2 columns - Word и Excel - помощь в работе с программами

In MS word 2013 when I go to Page Layout > Columns > 2 , it creates 2 columns but they are not «individual» in the sense that I cannot start typing from the top of the right column, nor can I type in the left column without pushing the white space down into the right column.

Is there any way to make 2 side by side independent lists aside from using a table?

asked Jan 7, 2014 at 3:07

If you have two columns, and would like to type in the second, you can use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Shift+Enter (called a Column Break) to begin typing in the second column. This will allow you to keep adding content to the first column independently, providing they do not spill over into each other.

Alternatively (this may help future users, even though not you) you can go to Insert, Tables, and Insert Table… For the number of columns put two, for the number of rows put one. This allows you to keep typing in the box, and as you reach the end of your line it automatically drops down to the next. If you do not want to keep the lines outlining the columns, right click on your table, go to Table Properties, Borders and Shading, and select «None» under settings in the Table tab.

In response to blm i have revised the post.
The accepted answer above mentions the use of Column breaks, which lets you add two or more columns. But what was not mentioned was the continuous section break that’s needed if you only want part of the document to use columns. If you add columns to Word, that format will get applied for the remainder of the document, in order to only use columns for a part of the page you need to use the continuous section break to return Word back to normal.
Often times people resort to using tables because they do not know how to correctly use the various breaks in Word.
If you want to add bullet points and have the bullet points spread out across columns, you can do this in Word by first adding the bullet points and then inserting a column break. You would do this for the number of columns you need and on the final column after your text instead of a column break you insert a continuous section break.
The advantage of the column breaks & continuous break is that once you get the hang of it its often easier to reorganize the text into columns, with tables you have to cut and paste if need to restructure the information.
This option for the breaks is found in the ribbon — Page Layout > Breaks, there you will see the option for Column & Continuous as well as a few others, this is an alternative to memorizing the keyboard shortcut.
Another very useful tool in Word that further aides when working with breaks can be found on the Home tab, the Show/Hide paragraphs (backwards P icon), in the Paragraph section on the ribbon. This tool shows the various formatting features applied on the document such as blank spaces (which are represented as dots), column breaks, section breaks, line breaks, page breaks etc.

Show / Hide view of columns in only section of word document

To clarify Mike H’s excellent answer, the use of the continuous section break is vital. Otherwise, the rest of the document will be in columns.

The process is:

Write your bulleted list
Place the cursor at the end of the bullet
item where you want the first column to end
Click on Layout->Columns->Two (answer assumes two, can be expanded for more)
Click on Breaks->Column
Place the cursor at what is now the bottom of
the second column
Click on Breaks->Continuous
Press Enter to get a new line
Click on Layout->Columns->One

At that point, your bulleted list should be in two columns and the rest of your document can continue with one column.

For anybody who still needs help or looking for a easier solution, here’s what to do (tested on Office 2016):

First create a bulleted list of your items as you would normally do
Once the list is created, select the whole list using your mouse
Click on Layouts > Columns > Two
And that’s it. The last step would automatically convert your bulleted list in a two-column layout while keeping the rest of the document in a single column layout

Hope this helps.

My layout key does not have the option for columns. How do I add that?

You are probably using the web version. It doesn’t have a lot of special options. The best solution is just to get the Word app and try again.
Question

How to create a two columns with separate texts?

This is very simple. When typing in each column, type different things. If it tries to connect them, just start a new paragraph.
Question

I want to change back to a full document after the columns. Then change back to columns and so forth (Recipe title and serving size, then columns for actual recipe; then another recipe on same page.)

At the bottom of the advanced column settings, there is a dropdown box labeled «Apply to:». Set the column number and click this to select the section you want to update. The easiest option is to highlight a section and select the «selected text» option.

In the article bellow, we will show you 4 ways to create a multi-column bulleted or numbered list in your Word document.

When we start a bulleted or numbered list, each list entry is considered as a paragraph. And there is no direct way to create 2 paragraphs side by side in Word document. This seems creating a multi-column list is not possible, either.

True. There is no direct way. But, you can always find effectual workarounds in our article.

Method 1: Format Lists as Multi-column Texts

First and foremost, finish entering list items and select the list.
Then click “Page Layout” tab.
Next click “Columns” command in “Page Setup” group.
On its drop-down menu, choose a column number.
Now you see all list entries are in the first column.
Put cursor at the start of a list entry which you want to place in another column. For example, in this case, we position insertion pointer before the texts of the third list entry. Then click “Breaks” under “Page Layout” tab.
And click “Column” on the drop-down menu of “Breaks”.
This inserts a column break and distributes list entries to the second column.
Repeat step 6 and 7 in case you have more than 2 columns and need to distribute list entries evenly. You can get a possible result as follows:

Method 2: Arrange a List in a Multi-column Table

Firstly, put cursor at place where the multi-column list should go.
Secondly, click “Insert” tab and click “Table”.
Thirdly, click “Insert Table”.
In the box open, enter the number of rows and columns.
Click “OK”.
Then select the table and click either “Bullets” or “Numbering” under “Home” tab. Each single cell will contain a bullet or be numbered in sequence.
You can then enter one entry in a cell.
Finally, remove table borders by clicking “Design” tab. Click to open the drop-down menu of “Borders” and choose “No Border”.

Method 3: Insert Text Boxes

To begin with, click “Insert” tab and “Text Box”.
Next click “Draw Text Box”.
Then enter list entries into text boxes.
Insert another text box in the same line with the previous one, following the first 3 steps.
Lastly, remove the outline of all text boxes by clicking text box. Then click “Format” and “Shape Outline”. Choose “No Outline”.

Method 4: Insert Bullet Symbols

If you don’t need a live bulleted list, you can just use bullet symbols to create a seemingly like one.

Click “Insert” tab then “Symbol”.
Next choose “More Symbols”.
In the “Symbol” dialog box, choose “General Punctuation” in the drop list of “Subset”.
Then find and click the bullet symbol.
Lastly, click “Insert” and close the box.
Or you can also choose to press “Alt+ 0149” to quickly insert a bullet symbol.

Word Errors Exist

If you are an experienced user of Word, you must have encountered with errors some time. Different errors cast different levels of impact on your documents. In some luck day, a simple reopen action will be enough to address an issue. But in the rest of days, you find yourself in desperate need of a tool to recover doc. Under such scenario, you need to take time evaluating various products on the market before testing them on your document.

With a little imagination, you can find novel new uses for Microsoft Word tables. A table can consist of multiple columns and makes an excellent container for bulleted lists. If you need to make a double-column bulleted list, add them to a table that has two columns and position the table wherever you like within your Word document.

Creating a Table

The fastest way to create a table is to open a Word document and position the cursor where you’d like your bulleted lists to appear. You can then click «Insert” followed by «Table» to display the Insert Table dialog box. This dialog box enables you to define your table’s properties. If you type «2» in the “Number of Columns” text box and «1» in the “Number of Rows” text box, Word adds a table with one row and two columns to the document after you click “OK.”

Adding a Bulleted List

Instead of adding a bulleted list to the main document, you can place it inside one of your table’s columns. Click inside the first column, click “Home” and you can click the “Bullets” button to add a new bulleted list to the table’s first column. Type anything you like and Word uses your text as the list’s first item. If you press “Enter,” Word creates a new empty bullet below the first one. You can type text for your second item next to that bullet. Continue adding as many items as you like using these steps.

Adding a Second Bulleted List

Your second bulleted list goes in the table’s second column. Place it there by clicking inside the column, clicking “Home” and clicking the “Bullets” button again to add a new bulleted list to that column. Populate the list with text items using the same method you did to populate the first list. When you’re done the table will contain a bulleted list in the first column and a bulleted list in the second column.

Tips

If you’d like to remove the table’s border so that people cannot see it, right-click inside the table and click “Table Properties” to open the Table Properties dialog box. You can then click «Borders and Shading,» click «None» and then click «OK» twice to remove the border. People will never know that you used a table to create the two column list when you remove the border. If you want to bring the left and right closer together, click the vertical line that separates them before you remove the table’s border and drag that line to the left to make the table’s first column width smaller. When you’d rather add more horizontal space between the two lists, drag the line to the right instead.

If I have columns of lists, is there a pandas function that lets me split each word which is separated by a comma to return two new columns, one column represents the first word which can not connect by itself and the second column represents the connected word. In general the idea is to create a word table of the different words and compare them together in two columns. The following table is used for a better interpretation of the problem.

import pandas as pd

r1=['tag1','tag2', 'tag3', 'tag4']

df=pd.DataFrame(r1,columns=['text'])

Desired Outcome, first column shows the first word, the second column represents the connected word. This process is also vice versa, for the next words in the lists.:

col1  |  col2
--------------
tag1  |  tag2
tag1  |  tag3    
tag1  |  tag4
tag2  |  tag1
tag2  |  tag3
tag2  |  tag4
tag3  |  tag1
tag3  |  tag2
tag3  |  tag4
tag4  |  tag1
tag4  |  tag2
tag4  |  tag3

Using itertools.permutations

Demo:

from itertools import permutations
import pandas as pd

r1=['tag1','tag2', 'tag3', 'tag4']

df = pd.DataFrame(list(permutations(r1,2)), columns=['col1','col2'])
#df = pd.DataFrame([i for i in permutations(r1,2)], columns=['col1','col2'])
print(df)

Output:

    col1  col2
0   tag1  tag2
1   tag1  tag3
2   tag1  tag4
3   tag2  tag1
4   tag2  tag3
5   tag2  tag4
6   tag3  tag1
7   tag3  tag2
8   tag3  tag4
9   tag4  tag1
10  tag4  tag2
11  tag4  tag3

Word comes with a variety of formatting and layout tools to enable you to get your business documents looking their best and to put across ideas effectively. In the case of bulleted lists, the Bullets icon on the ribbon menu lets you define the bullet style and created nested lists. You can use a symbol, character or picture as a bullet and modify the alignment by selecting «Define New Bullet» from the Bullet drop-down menu. Bulleted lists — like any other blocks of text within your Word document — can then be arranged on the page using the Columns feature.

Launch Word and open the document you wish to work on. Alternatively, select «Blank Document» to create a new file from scratch.
Click the downward arrow next to the Bullets icon (in the Paragraph section under the Home tab of the ribbon menu) and select your preferred bullet style.
Type out your bulleted list, pressing «Enter» after each entry. If you want to separate your lists using empty lines or headings, use the Bullets icon to disable and enable the automatic formatting as required.
Select all of the text containing the bulleted list or lists you’ve created. Open the «Page Layout» tab, and then click «Columns.» Choose the number of columns you want to show from the drop-down menu.
Move the cursor to the point where you want your second column to start. Click «Breaks» and then select «Column» from the drop-down menu. Repeat the process for any subsequent columns. This tells Word where to start and end each column. Otherwise, it will create breaks automatically based on the flow of your text and the page margins.
