# Columns

You can divide the page into several columns, of equal width, with a user controlled space in between each column.

This feature is only available in Text Oriented documents.

If you are working in a Page Layout document, you can build up several columns using a different frame for each column.

To change the number and width of columns select Format Page Layout... from the menubar.

This will bring up a dialogue box.

Click on the tab labelled Columns.

This will change the dialogue box.

You can now select the number of columns in the spin box labelled Columns: and the spacing between columns in the text box labelled Column Spacing:.

The preview box shows you what your page will look like.

Click OK when you are done.

Click Cancel to abort changes.
