Text can be laid out in multiple columns next to each other in Write. You can change the number of columns within a document as often as you like. To format text in columns, use the ribbon command Layout | group Section | Columns.
Entering text in a multi-column text area is not much different from entering it in a single-column area. The only difference is that when you reach the end of the first column, your text is not continued on a new page, but is continued in the next column on the same page. In other words: a column break is automatically inserted. A page break is inserted only when you continue typing past the end of the last column.
Manual column break: If the text is formatted in columns, you can also instruct Write to perform a manual column break before the automatic column break:
| 1. | Place the text cursor in the desired position. |
| 2. | Click on the arrow of the Break icon on the ribbon tab Insert (or Layout) and select Column break. Write then breaks the column immediately. |
| Tip: You can also use the key combination Ctrl + Shift + Enter to do this. |
See the following pages for more information on setting up multi-column text.
