Text (word processing) 4-21
You can change a column’s width and the space between two columns by
using the mouse to drag the column guide (border).
Using text frames to create columns In complex columnar documents such as
newsletters or brochures, try using linked text frames in a draw document
instead of columns in a word processing document. You’ll have more
flexibility to resize text frames and place them where you want.
Breaking a page or column
Each page is preset to break (end) at the bottom of the page. Text continues
at the top of the next page or column. You can end the page or column before
it fills up by inserting a break at the insertion point.
To set a page or column break, position the insertion point where you want the
break, and then choose Insert Column Break or Insert Page Break from the Format
menu. If Show Invisibles is selected in the Preferences dialog box, you see a page
or column break character where you inserted the break. (For more
information about preferences, see “Setting preferences” on page 3-20.)
