Here's how I would do it:



1. Type the text first. (But not the table just yet) Leave one or two blank lines or 

paragraphs at the end of your document.

2. Drag the mouse cursor over the text you just typed and select everything but don't 

select the blank lines at the end. (You'll see why in a second)

3. With all the text highlighted select Format/Columns. Select Two and make sure Apply 

to is set to "selected text"

4. Now click OK and you should see the text you typed displayed in two even columns.

5. Click toward the end of your document to set the insertion point inside one of the blank 

lines or paragraphs you left at the end of your document. The format for the lines at the 

end of your document should be one column. If so, you are ready to do Table/Insert or 

Table/Draw Table.



The trick is to leave a few blank lines at the bottom of your document and make sure

you don't format these last two lines as two columns.
