------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Jun 9 14:06:44 -0700 2005 ------- > I find the handling of sections not very friendly, [...] You probably have a different idea of the concept of sections. First document is very easy: "The following should be formatted as a 2-column section and, after the point marked HERE!, you are requested to format that paragraph as a 1-column section:" Just highlight the portion of text you want to be in the 1-column-section and choose Insert|Section -> you're done. (you figured that out yourself). If you don't want the section to be within the other one, just cut the text, create a new section below the current one (put the cursor at the end of the section and use <alt>+<enter> to leave the section and continue writing outside the section - this is also the way to continue in the 2-column section when you created the section within the section) and paste the text into the new section. Format|Section won't work as the name already implies this function is to format the sections, not to create new ones. I cannot think of any UI that would allow this task in an acceptable manner. Regarding the other document, I really don't get the problem. You correctly notice that the one-column section is contained in the two-column section (the bottom part is not another instance, it is the same (parent)section as the part that is above. The one-column-section is part of the parent section. Just hide the child and then the parent and you see how these two are connected. Now if you want that child-section to have three columns, choose Format|Sections, highlight the child-section and hit the options button, set the columns to three and klick OK.. Now the child is formatted with three columns. So you get what you want. 2 cols 3 cols 2 cols. Please explain what the problem is. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
