I would like to divide my page into two independently controlled
columns. Creating columns is easy enough to do. However, I want the
text in each column to start at the top of each column. Think of two
lists that are independent of each other, column 2 is NOT simply a
continuation of column 1. Two different teams of players for
example. A list of red parts, and blue parts. Whatever.
I know that I can hit enter 30 times or so in the first column in
order to start the text at the top of the second column, but I was
hoping there was a smarter way, such that (for example) I can simply
place my cursor in column 2 and start typing at the top, without
needing to have anything in column 1.
Example:
Column 1 Column 2
------------- -----------------
xyz 123
Simple in concept... not so simple to make happen in Writer.
Instead of columns, use frames - which can contain columns, should you wish.
Frames are highly configurable, and would be useful for laying out
newsletters because one can control where overflow text appears (which
frame). e.g. an article may start in a frame on the first page but
finish in a frame on the back page.
