Columns and multiple sections
I have a document where most of the text is in two columns, newsletter-style.
But it also needs multiple headers. I set it up with section breaks, and the headers work fine, but now my columns don't flow properly. The sections end up this way: 1 1 2 2 3 3 when I want it to flow continuously: 1 2 1 3 2 3 Is there a way to do this in Word? |

If you expect text to flow across section breaks, then I'm
afraid you are out of luck. Word can't do that. You'll have to fake column formatting using linked text boxes instead. Note, however, that you may not need section breaks to create different headers. If the header should repeat text from the body of the document, you could use a StyleRef field.

Leaving aside the headers for the moment, the text flow you are after cannot
be done by normal means (with or without sections) - and is a most unusual requirement unless I'm completely misunderstanding. Can you give a bit more detail - like what should happen when section 1 gets longer and would flow onto another page, etc? -- Enjoy, Tony "Paul" wrote in message ...

Columns and multiple sections
Are you using newsletter-style columns or a table? And by headers, do you
mean headers (text at the top of a page) or headings? -- Suzanne S.
