I am writing a manuscript and wish to include lists of names of people.  When I 
had microsoft, I could enter columns into text for a short period, and then 
return to full width text, and go back and forth.  I have NOT been able to 
figure out how to do that with openoffice.  I am totally frustrated on this one 
point.  I then was told to create tables, but when I did that, the names (which 
were in alphabetical order, went down from page to page to page, rather than go 
to the 2nd column and then 3rd column on the same page.  When I went to "help" 
I really couldn't understand the terminology.  I am a retired college professor 
trying to do a project and I'm lost.  I took the survey hoping it would give me 
an opportunity to vent my frustrations, but several of those terms I didn't 
understand, either.  I guess I'm too old for some of this technical stuff, but 
I try.  Thanks for the help I KNOW you are going to give me.
