It might help if you said what your aims were! when on text documents I choose landscape and then click on 2 columns which divides the page in half , but I can only text on the left column because the cursor will not travel to the right hand column . That's exactly what is supposed to happen. Columns work the way that a newspaper is structured: as you enter text, the first column is filled first and text flows naturally to the next column when the first is full - just as text flows from page to page when you don't have columns. If you wish to skip to the next column before one column is full, you can do this using Insert | Manual Break... | Type | Column break. But it sounds as if what you may really be trying to do is to lay out text in the two sides of your page independently, in which case columns are not the way to go. Instead, consider using a table (Table | Insert > | Table...) with one row and two columns. Tables do not need to have borders, so they need not be visible in the final document. Are you perhaps trying to create a booklet, by folding multiple sheets in landscape orientation? If so, you may like to investigate OpenOffice's useful Brochure facility. You create a document in portrait orientation and with the final actual page size - half the paper size - and then print it with the paper in landscape orientation. OpenOffice takes care of sorting the pages of the document so that they print in such a way that the stack of sheets can be folded into a properly sequenced booklet. I trust this helps.

Help with Open office 4.16
I downloaded Open Office 4.16 When I go to my spreadsheets it asks me to update all links - I have quite few This is what used to happen with the old version This file contains links to other files - should they be updated I hit yes and when I close I am asked to save my changes. This was a fast process. With the new version I keep getting asked to update my files when I scroll down the page for each link. Is there a way to do this only once like in the older version? Thanks in advance, Hans
