Message-ID: <6022@sigi.Colorado.EDU> Date: 12 May 88 16:16:32 GMT Organization: University of Colorado, Boulder Lines: 32 I have been a Word user for some time nd I have been playing with a friends copy of Fullwrite to see if I want to switch. The comments on the net lately have been very helpful, but I have noticed a problem? which hasn't been mentioned. Perhaps it is not a problem at all. Here is the situation. I want to write a paper which has a heading and abstract in single column format and then switches to 2 column format directly beneath that on the first page. It seems that the "column" option in Fullwrite applies to the entire chapter. So I guess I need to know how to either stop new chapters from generating page breaks, or specify column instructions which apply to only part of the chapter. I'm hoping that I don't have to use sidebars or heraders or something like that because it seems counter-intuitive to have this stuff "special" to me. No, I don't have the documentation. I've just been playing with a copy thats on a local machine in order to decide if it's worth the switch. The first thing I tried was this paper (I actually imported it) and I was dissapointed in my inability to easily do this. Am I missing something or are sidebars/headers the only solution to this? Thanks much in advance.
