That works to start a new column. (Thanks.) But I am still trying to figure out how to tell it where each column starts. My problem is that my text (three columns) is centered on the middle of the page. I want it to be placed so the left column starts a left border of paper and goes until about 3.5 inches; then the middle column starting at 3.6" and ends at about 7.25"; and then the final column begins there and ends at the right edge of the paper. (Currently, it appears that I have two-inch margins; I only want .15" margins.) I am reading Mittelbach's "An environment for multicolumn output" article. I read Bjonnes' "Multiple Columns" examples article; it says "The width of the columns inside the multicols environment is automatically calculated". I have done some searches for doing brochures with latex and have found several similar questions to mine, but only one solution: create three separate 3-2/3" x 8-1/2" pages and use dvidvi to merge together. Maybe this question is not appropriate for LyX, but can anyone point me to any other ideas for easily creating tri-fold brochures? Has anyone easily made a tri-fold brochure with LyX (or LaTeX)?
