I want to use a report to make an alphabetical two-column list of items in a table that do not have a Yes/No box ticked. I used a query, which sorts these items alphabetically.

The report also works well. However, it will list like this:

Apples Biscuits
Cheese Doughnuts

Whereas I want it to list alphabetically down the left hand column, then when it gets to the end of the column, continue in the right hand column (just as would happen when you use 2 columns in Word). e.g.

Apples Cheese
Biscuits Doughnuts

How do I achieve this?

Many thanks in advance
 
Retro,

When you go to page setup and choose the columns tab,
doesn't it have the Column Layout option at the bottom?

I don't have Access 97.
