height of the column is fixed. To delete the break, highlight and delete it or
use the Backspace key right after the break.
Editing Columns in the Properties Inspector
You will be able to select Static or Dynamic columns, turn off columns and
change column and gutter width through the Properties Inspector palette.
Changing column width in the palette will exhibit results similar to changing
width using grips. The palette is the only place that you can also change gutter
setting.
Import Text from External Files
You can insert TXT or RTF text files created in word processors into your
drawing by importing the text.
Importing TXT or RTF files from other sources gives you the most flexibility.
For example, you can create a text file of standard notes that you include in
drawings. The imported text becomes a multiline text object, which you can
edit and reformat. Text imported from a TXT file inherits the current text
style. Text imported from an RTF file inherits the current text style name, but
retains its original fonts and format. Imported text files are limited to 256 KB
and must have a file extension of .txt or .rtf.
If you use the Clipboard to paste text from another application, the text is
pasted as formatted or unformatted based on the original source. If you use
the Clipboard to paste text from another drawing file, the text is inserted as
a block reference, and it retains its original formatting.
