Hi Ron, There is no practical way to achieve that in one single text frame. Once you set a text frame to be 2-column there is no way to make a single paragraph into that frame going the full width. At some point, it's going to hit the column gap. As far as I understand, you could do that with 2 frames instead of 3. One being on top of the other with runaround properties set. Both parag. 1 and 4 would be in one frame because they share the same width. Both paragraph 2 and 3 would be in the other frame. This frame can be positionned precisely in respect to the other so it can be off-center the way you want.
