Kenward,
At the address below, you can find a simple document where an
explanation about \vspace*{\fill} is provided:

Hmm. Is this to be used on regular enumerations when one has > 1
column per page? I put this into some of my exams at various points in
these nested, multi-columned environments (M/C answers on the exams),
and saw no change in anything.
Caveat: I'm no LaTeX guru, but at the other end of the spectrum. I
don't even know what it _should_ do.

Thanks, Kenward and Eric. According to Herbert's example (for
non-nested enumerate environments), one should insert, just before
\end{multicols}, the following ERT:
\vspace*{\fill}
It also seems to improve the aesthetics of the nested enumerate environment.

Use multicol package at the beginning of the first nested item, then
the end of the last nested item.
1. A line of text.
(a) \begin{multicols}{2}First item
(b) 2nd item
(c) 3rd item
(d) 4th item\end{multicols}
2. etc.
HTH,

Re: Nested enumerate in columns
Hello
See file attached, you'll need multicols package
I got some trouble with this before
I always put the "\begin {multicols}{2}" on an empty standart line wich
is at the same level as the enumerate which is to be in multicols.
(clear no ;))
Hope that helps
Eric

(a) First item; (c) Third item;

2. Another line of text.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,

Nested enumerate in columns
Dear All Some time ago, Herbert provided here an example for me to achieve the following enumerate environment in columns: (a) First item; (c) Third item; (c) Second item; (d) Fourth item. Now, I am trying to obtain a nested enumerate environment in columns as shown bellow: 1. A line of text. (a) First item; (c) Third item; (c) Second item; (d) Fourth item. 2. Another line of text. Any ideas? Thanks in advance, Paul
