Have your tried using a frame, putting in the title (header) in the frame
and then inserting a Table with two columns?

Sandy Teggatz


I wrote something about why I can't do that in this thread, but since you
also suggested it I gave it a try, and it could actually work, but I
immediately jumped into a new "problem".

First of all, if I have, let's say 5 rows and 2 columns in this table, and
the cell of row 3, column 1 is a sentence that need 2 lines in that cell,
the cell become about twice as high as it was. This also apply to the cell
of row 3, column 2 as well.

When experimenting with this, I found that I could split that cell into 2
cells if needed, but what happens if the new cell needs two lines? Then the
cell of 2 lines in column 1 becomes a 3 line cell, and I need to split that
one and so on. Not very practical in my case, in other words.

I also highlighted all cells and applied numbering. For some reason the
cells were not numbered as I wanted. I would have preferred:
|1. Blah | 6. Blah |
|2. Blah | 7. Blah |
|3. Blah | 8. Blah |
|4. Blah | 9. Blah |
|5. Blah | 10. Blah|
However, this happened:
|1. Blah | 2. Blah |
|3. Blah | 4. Blah |
|5. Blah | 6. Blah |
|7. Blah | 8. Blah |
|9. Blah | 10. Blah|

Maybe there is a way to change this as well, but still it is not as
convenient as it would have been if I was able to set columns in a paragraph
style. I could then create the whole thing in a fixed size frame without any
troubles what so ever (I think...).

Thanks for replying though!
