I just created a new blank (1-col) section between two paragraphs on the 2nd 
column of the first section and inserted some text in it. The "third", 
following, section was just there: it really is the continuation of the first 
section, because the new section is the child of the first!
That is the hierarchical section feature in action! But what I would like to 
achieve is a new section (which I would format with 3-col) "inside" the 
_second_ column of the first section! And that I could not do!
Please, if you still have patience, look at my recent posting on 
http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=50493 and the new attached 
files.

I originally could not understand well the handling of sections and I was 
confused as to why the insertion of sections could not be easily done in the 
hierarchical view of window "Format|Section". The fact that I could not 
achieve the effect mentioned above, and quite well illustrated in my new 
attached files (using frames!), added to my perplexity on the usage and need 
of sections.

Thanks again!
