See file attached, you'll need multicols package
I got some trouble with this before
I always put the "\begin {multicols}{2}" on an empty standart line wich is at the same level as the enumerate which is to be in multicols. (clear no ;))
Hope that helps

Dear All
Some time ago, Herbert provided here an example for me to achieve the following enumerate environment in columns:
(a) First item; (c) Third item; (c) Second item; (d) Fourth item.
Now, I am trying to obtain a nested enumerate environment in columns as shown bellow:
1. A line of text.
(a) First item; (c) Third item; (c) Second item; (d) Fourth item.
2. Another line of text.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Paul
