how to set up 2 columns with column breaks
I am trying to set up an A5 document consisting of two columns and when I
complete the first column with information (which may ony take half the column depth) I then want to type into the second column but I cannot work out how to get the cursor into the second column. Do I have to set a 'column break' and if so how? Any advice a s a p would be very very appreciated. |

Sounds like you would be better off inserting a two-column table instead
of creating a two-column page layout. A table allows you to type "paired" text (something in the left column, and something else related to that in the right column) in a table row, and you can have as many table rows (or pairs of text) as you want. manxkipperM wrote: I am trying to set up an A5 document consisting of two columns and when I complete the first column with information (which may ony take half the column depth) I then want to type into the second column but I cannot work out how to get the cursor into the second column.

You can insert a column break using Ctrl+Shift+Enter.
