I write a newsletter for our Geneolagy Society in which I use three columns on each page but now I want to add some pictures on the next four pages and I want use a full page. I have the pages with the pictures in a file but don't know how to add them as pgs 6, 7, 8, 9. I tried the "page break" but from the instructions I was unable to figure out how to make that work. I need to be able to send the file by e mail and also print copies to snail mail. The help file is beyond my knowledge I need it dumbed down as bit. It does help being a senior citizen either. Help
Presumably your three columns exist either within a three-column table, a three three-column page style, or a three-column section. If your are using a table, you should have no difficulty in moving to the end of your document below the table and pressing Ctrl-Enter to force a new page.
That you are having difficulty suggests to me that you have been using a page style or section.
The name of the current page style will appear in the second panel in the status bar at the bottom of the current window. It will probably be "Default".
Move your cursor to the end of your current document, then press Ctrl-Enter. This will provide a new page still in three-column format. Make sure your cursor is on that page. Then press F11 to bring up the Stylist. Select the 4th icon in the toolbar at the top of the Stylist which will show the list of currently available page styles.
Your current page style, probably "Default" will be highlighted. Right-click on this page style and select "New". In the dialog box the comes up, give it some reasonable name, such as "Illustration". In the "Columns" tab set the number of columns to 1.
Exit the dialog box. You should now have a blank, single-column page at the end of your document into which you can paste your illustration page data.
As to sending your newsletter by e-mail, one normal procedure is to use File -> Export as PDF to create a PDF version of your document which almost all computer users will be able to read. You may also wish to compress the resulting PDF file with a zip utility. Then attach it to each email which you wish to send.
For the hard copies you wish to print, just print the file using File -> Print, setting printer settings appropriately in the printer dialog box that comes up. Note that if you click on "Options" in this dialog box, you have the choice to print only the left pages or the right pages. If you don't have a duplex printer, this allows you to print all the left pages on one side of your sheets, then load the sheets in again backwards, and print the right pages on the back.
