columns and keep with next
Hi,
The text in my document has a 2-column layout but the headings span the two columns. Because Word uses a new section for this, keep with next doesn't work. Are there others ways to create a spanned heading? |

Frank,
Don't know what you mean by heading exactly is it merely a title spanning the two columns which you centre, or is it a heading style. You could try and use a frame to span the two columns. Remove the border and set the wrapping style to none. That would not require a single column section. -- Luc Sanders (MVP - PowerPoint) "Frank Weenink" Frank schreef in bericht ...

I think the problem may be a matter of where the insertion point is when you
create the column layout. If it is at the beginning of the body text the heading gets left behind in the previous section. If it is at the beginning of the *heading* the heading will be included in the first column. In the case of existing columns you may be able to just turn on the non-printing characters & edit out the section breaks. -- HTH |:) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac "Frank Weenink" Frank wrote in message ...

If you want the heading to span two columns, you have no choice (aside from
a text box or frame): there must be a (Continuous) section break between the single-column heading and the double-column text. Editing out the section breaks is not an option. -- Suzanne S.

Yeah, I was a little confused about what the OP actually wants... or has.
First he says "...but the headings span the two columns." which indicates that he currently has the heading as a single-column section spanning *both* columns but wants it to stay with the body tetxt in 'column 1'. At least that's how I took it. Then he goes and asks about "other ways to create a spanned heading." I guess both options have been covered :-) -- Regards |:) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac "Suzanne S.
