I am trying to set up a book (8"x10" - about 400 pages) with mostly 2 columns. I want the chapter titles and section headings to go across the page with the body text in 2 columsn.
I have set it up as follows: Chapter Title \begin{multicols}{2} (body text) \end{multicols} or Section Heading \begin{multicols}{2} (body text) \end{multicols} It seems to work OK until I'm about half way through the book, then when I try to view using DVI or PDF, I get an error message "Dimension too large." Is there a limit as to how many times you can changee from one to two columns? Is there a limit to how many words this setup can handle? Any help would be appreciated.
