Creating Columns
Columns are easy to create in Word. You can choose one, two, or three columns
of equal width. You can also choose Left or Right, which creates two columns with either the left or the right column a little less than half the size of the other column.
If none of these options suits you, you can create columns of custom widths.

Inserting Pictures
In Word, pictures are graphic files stored on your computer.
Pictures are inserted as an inline object at the location of the insertion point.
You can then change the object to a floating object if you want, as well as resize and reposition it, in the same manner as clip art.
