Making columns work together
I write reports formatted with a vertical line about 2.5" from the left edge
of the page. Section headings go on the left side of the line, the body of the report goes on the right. I would like to be able to line up the top of each heading (on the left) with the top of the first line of the corresponding text (on the right). I can't do it with text boxes, because: a. I also use the table-of-contents feature b. my reports span many pages and text boxes quickly get unwieldy c. text boxes don't lend themselves to the kind of significant editing my reports sometimes require. The best I have been able to figure out is to set the left margin set at 2.5" and just move the section headings outside the margin. But that requires the section heading to ride above the text rather than at the same level. It's not awful this way as long as the section heading isn't too long, but it would look better if I could get them to line up. I'm not opposed to buying a book or pre-fabbed templates if this is too complicated for a newsgroup Q&A, but I don't know where to look. Suggestions? Thanks. |
