Hi all, hope you are all doing well.
I am still trying to display pull quote between two columns. lmt_parshape is really helpfull. I need to add a 1pt gap to make the left column behave correctly, but the right column remains shifted one line below the intended one. Question1: any clue ?Question2: is there a way to use the columnset system to produce a similar output ?
Thanks again for your feedbacks, Garulfo
