The columns look fine, but I can't click below
them in the page. I tried pasting the material
again, same result, and also pasting the
material from vi(m). How do I get it to let me
write the letter below the columns?
Did you have anything selected when you set
Format | Columns... to 3? If not, I think you
will have given your (Default?) page style three
columns. But if you selected the text before
doing so, you will instead have created a section
with three columns. In this latter case, you may
well find the cursor appears to be stuck inside
the section and not see how to get it outside and
after the section. If you press Enter, you
simply create new empty paragraphs inside the
section, which expands to allow this.
Two alternative solutions:
o Before setting three columns, press Enter at
the end of your text to create an empty
paragraph. Take care *not* to include this in
the selected text when you set three columns.
o Put the cursor at the end of the text in the
three-column section. Press Alt+Enter. Voilà!
I trust this helps.
