Curious George
Are the only columns available in Word (2002 or 2003) "newsletter style
columns" or can you disable the "flow to the next column" behavior?
When I used to use WordPerfect, there were 4 types of columns:
· Newspaper: flows text down a column to the bottom of a page or column
break, then continues it at the top of the next column to the right
· Balanced Newspaper: adjusts newspaper columns so that columns are of
equal length
· Parallel: groups columns across the page in rows or starts subsequent
rows below the longest column of the previous row. Parallel columns are
useful for scripts, charts, or lists.
· Parallel With Block Protect: keeps all rows of the columns together
across page breaks
I suppose one could create a style to emulate some of those
characteristics, but the simple solution is to use tables instead of
columns at all. Just wondering.
