Summary
You can specify column and gutter width, height, and number of columns.
You can edit column width and height with grip-editing.
To create multiple columns you always start with a single column. Depending
on the column mode you choose, you have two different methods for creating
and manipulating columns – static mode or dynamic mode.
List of Options
The following options are displayed.
No Columns Specifies no columns for the current mtext object.
Dynamic Columns Sets dynamic columns mode to the current mtext object.
Dynamic columns are text driven. Adjusting columns affects text flow and
text flow causes columns to be added or removed. Auto height or Manual
height options are available.
Static Columns Sets static columns mode to the current mtext object. You
can specify the total width and height of the mtext object, and the number
of columns. All the columns share the same height and are aligned at both
sides.
