Basically i am asking is that after filling first line of second column, won't that first line of second column move to first column as its second line and writer will start filling first line of second column again till both lines of second column are filled? ________________________________________ From: Keith N.

When the box to equally distribute cont is checked it does just that. Rather than a newspaper style column arrangement where text flows to fill the first column then fills the second column, text flows between columns such that when the first line of the first column is full the text flows to the first line of the second column and so on. I hope the explanation is clear if not perhaps this link to the new version 4 guide will help. https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/UserGuide/Writer/Page#Columns_tab_2 Regards Keith --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: doc-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: doc-h...@openoffice.apache.org
