Parallel columns
How can I set up a portion of a page with two parallel columns and a line
down the middle between them. The columns should each be about 4 inches wide. Can this be set up for frequent use in the future? Thank you for your time and your help. Gene L. |

Parallel columns
If you don't want the automatic column "wrap", ie where text goes into column
2 when column 1 extends far enough down, try using a borderless table of two columns, obviously with a single border inbetween the columns. These columns can then be sized to the dimensions you require. Using a table negates the requirement for Continuous Section Breaks. Hope this helps DeanH "Jay Freedman" wrote: On Thu, 20 Dec 2007 18:59:43 -0800, "Gene L." wrote: How can I set up a portion of a page with two parallel columns and a line down the middle between them.

Jan and Dean... sounds like a pop duo from the sixties!
But I'm sure you really meant JAY and Dean. Terry "Gene L." wrote in message ... Thanks to Jan and Dean for the early (and helpful) advice on this question. Best regards, Gene L. |
