Hi Karen, You have to do some math to get the column width:
Column Width = (Text Frame Width - (Column Gap + Side Head Width + Side Head Gap)) / Number of Columns If you only have a single column, then Column Gap = 0.

Hi Framers, One of our master page layouts got nudged so that a column was very slightly narrower than it should be (probably an accidental frame-handle grab). We found this out by hand-measuring print output. By selecting the Object Properties item from the Graphics menu, I can see the width and height of a text frame, the number of columns it contains, and the gap between those columns, in the Customize Text Frame dialog. I could presume that if those items are correct, theoretically the column width is correct. But where can I see the actual width of the columns to confirm it? Thanks, Karen _______________________________________________
