Well, it works if the title is at the top of the page.
Exactly. I even have an article about that
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting...panColumns.htm, based on my
experience with a four column newsletter that has a framed two-column
"nameplate" at the top of the first two columns. But I know I have also, now
that I think about it, discussed somewhere (probably in a NG post) the
difference in behavior between inserting any element that spans columns
(frame, text box, graphic) and inserting Continuous section breaks.

Well, it works if the title is at the top of the page. But when I tried
it before posting my reply, I didn't think to see what would happen when
the title is moved down to the middle of the page somewhere as you did,
and you're right that my suggestion doesn't work when that happens.
Anyway, it would seem that Stefan Blom already answered this same question
that the OP posted three days ago at
http://groups.google.com/group/micro...d0086abe830fb9 ,
so I guess we're all wasting our breath, time, and bandwidth here on
someone who ain't listening.

Unfortunately, this doesn't work, or at least I couldn't get it to. Even
if you use a text box with "Top and Bottom" text wrapping, the content in
the first column above the text box continues in the first column below
the text box, then wraps to the second column above the text box. I
really did think this could be done with a text box (if not a frame), but
I couldn't make it work. The advantage to a frame, of course, would be
that, whereas a heading in a text box would be invisible to a TOC in
versions before Word 2007, Word *can* see text in a frame.
