Hi, I did not find any major issue with the method I described to do what you want. The thing I would like to know, after looking at your test files in the above issue, is how you created the second, 2-column section? The navigator shows only two sections in the document, but not the third. I tried it via cut and paste, but it created a new section with the generic title SectionX (where X is the next number). It could be a bug in the process somewhere there. I am not sure if getting out of the section is a problem in 1.1.4, as in 2.0 you can click anywhere on the page and continue on. Was this part of the problem you had? Regards Jonathon > Dizia Jonathon Coombes em Quarta, 8 de Junho de 2005 23:13: > > OK.
