Text wrap setting in two column document
How do I set text wrap in a two column document so that the left column fills
completely before the test starts to go into the right column? Sometimes this happens; sometimes the two columns are "balanced" with equal amounts of text with neithe column filling the page from top to bottom. |

Text wrap setting in two column document
The text will wrap by default if the multi-column section ends in a
Continuous section break. If the section break is not necessary, you can remove it. Otherwise, you need to enable the Compatibility Option (Tools | Options | Compatibility) "Don't balance columns for Continuous section starts." -- Suzanne S.

Sometimes this happens; sometimes the two columns are "balanced" with equal amounts of text with neithe column filling the page from top to bottom. If the two-column text ends with a Continuous section break, the default is to balance the columns above the break. To turn this off in Word 2003 or earlier, go to Tools Options Compatibility and check the box for "Don't balance columns for Continuous section starts". To find this option in Word 2007, go to Office button Word Options Advanced, scroll to the bottom and click Layout Options. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |
