I'm using OO 2.2 and doing a single sided sheet in Writer which has
a page wide logo box at the top of the page and a footer logo. I
tried to create a snaking two column text box that would start under
the logo and end before the page wide footer. I couldn't seem to
control its placement via anchors so that the text lined up with the
top and bottom logos.
Failing this I inserted a 2 column table but I can't seem to find a
way to snake the text from column 1 to column 2 automagically. What
happens is the table extends onto the next page when too much text
in the column for the space. Can't have that as it all has to stay
on one side of one sheet.
The way to do this is probably using sections. After your full-width
item at the top, go to Insert | Section... . On the columns tab,
select two columns and any other required options - possibly "Evenly
distribute contents to all columns". You can now enter text into
your two-column section and other material into the full-width area
below. Note that you can control the margins and so on of the
section independently of those of the rest of the page.
I trust this helps.
