Problem

Solutions: Many people have requested the ability to have page numbering associated with each column in the document i.e., display a page 1 at the bottom of column 1, a page 2 at the bottom of column 2, even though they are both on the same page. Until this is implemented into the program, 5.1 users can effectively mimic newspaper columns using the labels definition off of the Paper Size and Type Format menu. The steps for doing so are as follows: 1 - Press Shift-F8 and select 2 for Page 2 - Select 7 for Paper Size 3 - Select option 2 for Add 4 - Create a form under any name desired 5 - On the next menu, select option 1 for Size 6 - Select option 2 for Standard Landscape (variable) 7 - Select option 8 for Labels and answer YES 8 - On the next menu, Select option 1 for Label Size 9 - Enter 11" for the Width and 8.5" for the height (variable) 10 - Select option 2 for Number Of Labels and enter 2 for columns (variable) 11 - Enter 1 for the number of rows 12 - Exit back to the Page Format screen 13 - Setup page numbering as desired When the form has been created and selected, type the text as usual. The text will not wrap to the next column as it does when actually in columns, but a page break will appear when the end of the page is reached. This format will view and print as if the text was typed in columns and a page number will appear under each column! This technique will also allow footnotes to be displayed at the bottom of each column.
