Setting columns actually is a shortcut for creating a section (which properties define the limited columnar layout). The nesting nature of elements in Writer makes it possible to make nested sections for parts of text inside the section - so you can have part of text with additional columns. The idea is, that you may have a text like ===== text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text 2-col section start text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text section end text text text text text text text text text text text text ... ===== and you may want to decide to make part of text in it to have own columns, like ===== text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text 2-col section start text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text section 2 text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text end sect text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text section end text text text text text text text text text text text text ... ===== Note that *both* the outer section, and "section 2" have 2-column layout; never there is any kind of "3-column layout". For that to happen, when you select the text inside the outer section to define inner columns, you naturally see a *single* column; and you may increase it to two, to get the desired result. Having it 2, and increasing it to three, would be incorrect - that layout would be not like what I shown, but something like ===== text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text 2-col section start text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text section 2 text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text end sect text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text section end text text text text text text text text text text text text ... ===== The expected operation is that when you need to stop the effects of the current section, you simply continue outside of it. But likely, what we need is a way to split a section at the current cursor position ... Asking UX eval. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
