Hi Molly,
We created tables in Word to get a two-column look in several of our Winhelp
files. Mainly we have used that format for our TOCs, but I'm thinking it
might work for any type of text layout that you need.
If you are creating the list in Word, you should be able to apply the table
layout and copy and paste from your list. You could just use a two-column
(or three-column) table, and cut and paste your text where you want it.
I hope this is helpful.
Regards,

Does anyone know if it is possible to create columns of text in RoboHelp
Classic 2000? I have a huge list of keywords that span about three pages
if in a single line. When I attempt to tab them into columns, I find that
what looks nice on my computer turns into jagged rows elsewhere. I tried
Word's column feature, but RoboHelp, well, ignored it and put all the words
into a single column.
Any advice or confirmation that RoboHelp doesn't do this would be
appreciated.
