Word allows you to display text in columns. Columns usually look more professional when the text is balanced across the columns. You can make the text even across your columns by moving the text around and by adding column breaks. An alternative method is to configure Word to balance the text for you.

To automatically balance text across columns:

1. Place the cursor at the end of the columns that you want to balance.

2. From the Insert menu, click Break.
3. Under Section break types, click Continuous.
4. Click OK.

By inserting the continuous section break, Word will automatically balance the text across your columns.
