Doing a document in Newspaper Style.
I have a section of text that when typed will take up about 3/4 of an A4
page in total. It is easy enough for me to set the number of columns, as in a newspaper, but I would like the length of the columns to balance automatically as I type, with the same number of lines in each column. If I type it as it is, the text disappears off the bottom of one column and appears at the top of the next, but it doesn't look even as I have a large area of white space on the right of the page. I know I can use trial and error to add a break so it appears that they line up, but isn't there a setting in Word that takes this into account automatically? Marcus |

Insert a continuous section break at the end of the text. That will
cause the columns to balance. -- 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.
