OK. To create two section on the same page as you described, you do the following: 1. Insert -> Section 2. Click on Columns tab and choose 3 columns. Click OK. You now have a section with 3 columns. 3. Move the cursor to below the section outline. 4. Insert -> Section 5. Click on Columns tab and choose 1 column. Click OK. You now have a page with two sections - one with 3 columns and one with 1 column. What is the need of a section break? > Also, and related with this, in the "Format->Sections" window you cannot > easily create a new section in a specific place int the section hierarchy - > there no "new section" in the window! > (OOo 1.9.104 in Linux, but the problem goes back to OOo 1.x) No, this is done via the Insert -> Section as described above. I have not really seen hierarchical section before, but they can be done. If you have the cursor within the "parent" section and not at the top line, it will create a "child" section. If the cursor is on the first line, it will insert a section above the existing one (similar to table inserts). The data navigator may help you in moving through your sections as well.
