Thanks, Mike, for your suggestion. I had 3 ideas actually based on what I saw in the LibreOffice Writer manual. I wondered if Frames, or Sections, or Tables were the best approach since it looked like any of these might work. Having 3 tables side by side on the same page might work but I think text for that page would have to be manually inserted into the tables and it wouldn’t flow automatically from the first to the second and to the third table.
I wasn’t clear on the application of frames or sections to do this which is why I thought I’d ask the support email. another person wrote me and basically suggested a section as the best solution. But your suggestion was much appreciated.
