I'm using Word 2007 to create a "directory" of recipes, something like this:
(merge fields shown in ) Recipe Ingredients: Ingredients Directions: Directions I want to: 1) have the Ingredients show up in two columns and 2) fit as many COMPLETE recipes on each page, without recipes breaking at the bottom of the page. Here's my problem. To get my ingredients the way I want them, I can format Ingredients to two columns, which inserts a continuous section break before and after. And to keep recipes from breaking at the bottom of a page, I can set everything except the last line, Directions, to "Keep with next" and "Keep lines together". Each of those things on their own do exactly what I want. But if I do them both, nothing works; the recipes don't stay together, and the ingredients are sometimes in one column, sometimes in two equally-long ones and sometimes in two with way more stuff in the left column that in the right. Huh?!? Any ideas on how I can have both work correctly? And why what I tried ISN'T working? Thanks, Karin |
