The specific example that I presented (2 col, one of which includes a 3-col segment) was academical. It was loosely based on the question initially presented by Firewing1 (aka S-Computers). But the building and manipulation of 1-col segments of text mixed with 2-col segments has quite recently given me a few headaches, when I was making (or trying to make) multiple choice examinations for the students of one of my courses. The multiple choice questions (in a 2-col layout) where mixed with text and normal questions in a 1-col layout. And over all this I used several numeric lists (for the different types of questions and for the choices of some the them). I cannot overemphasize the my stress and the time I spent making the exams. Also, I was trying to show the (MSWord entrenched) students how good OOo was! The handling of sections were quite confusing and I failed to see (still do!) the need for the "hierarchy" of sections! But with all this saga, here at the [EMAIL PROTECTED] and with "cloph", I think I am now much more proficient with the use of sections! Nevertheless, I think that most software features should be easy and intuitive to use, and you should seldom need to ask people for help or have a look into an instruction book. I keep telling this to my students of programming courses... :-| That's the story! Nice to "talk" to you! José -- J. Magalhães Cruz --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- ... free, as in freedom...
