Tops of two-column layout don't align
I'm an old hand at Word, but have never spent much time in two-column
format. Using a dirt-simple template and layout, I drop a continuous section break after the document title and intro so that the rest of the document will be in 2-col format. What happens is that the resulting columns don't align along the top. The text in the right-hand column sits a half-line or so below the text in the left column. Is the issue with where I place the section break? Do I have to tweak one paragraph so that it aligns with the other? (seems like an ugly hack). Any guidance will be very much appreciated. Thanks for taking a look. -fb |

Tops of two-column layout don't align
It sounds as if the first paragraph at the top of your second column has
some Space Before and the first one does not. Or, if you've used empty paragraphs instead of Space Before/After, you've got one there. You can either adjust the Space Before on your top paragraphs (add to one or remove from the other) or remove the empty paragraph, if any. -- Suzanne S.
