3. Adjust Text to Fit Columns

If necessary, adjust the text to ensure it occupies the appropriate column by using column breaks. Place additional column breaks by inserting your cursor where you want the break. In our example, it will be before the Wind Energy Overview.

Then, go to Insert > Break > Column break. This action will force the text following the cursor to begin at the top of the next column which splits your content into separate columns at the designated point.

Ensure that all content is correctly placed and visually effective. We will now see a clearer and more structured presentation of the comparison between solar and wind energy.
