	Well, what your looking for to answer no. 1 is the section menu
under the format (I think section).  It lets you specify section characteristicsTo one section from another you should hold down command enter after the body
of the text for the first section.  In that section you specify two columns
(there's a little box in the lower left hand corner) and the distance between
the columns - word will automatically compute it for you.
	After pressing return and specifying the characteristics for the first
section.  Position the cursor somewhere after the section break (it should look
like a double-dotted line).  Go once again to the section menu (which I guess
again is under the format menu) and specify one column and that the new section
starts on a seperate page.  This will seperate the two sections from each other
onto different pages.  It's really alot easier than it sounds.
	Question number 2 is even easier.  All you have to do is hit command-R
while you are in the footnotes window.  Click the justify right icon.  You may
want to set this as the default for the footers style.  To do that you should
go to the define styles option (it used to be command-t), select the style in
this case footnotes and then type shift-command-R.  Then click define.
	Goodluck.
	Most of this info is from older word versions, it shouldn't have changedtoo much.
