Create and Edit Columns in Multiline Text
You can create and edit multiple columns using the In-Place Text Editor
column options and column grips.
Multiple columns can be created and edited in either the MTEXT ribbon
contextual tab or In-Place Text Editor and through the grip editing mode.
Editing columns using grips allows you the flexibility of seeing the changes
as you make them.
Columns follow a few rules. All columns have equal width and equal gutters.
A gutter is the space between columns. The height of columns remains constant
unless more text than the column can accommodate is added, or you manually
move the editing grip to adjust the column height.
Editing Columns in the In-Place Text Editor
When you are working with columns using either the MTEXT ribbon
contextual tab or In-Place Text Editor, the columns will be in a frame. If the
Opaque background is turned on, the background covers each column, leaving
gutter space blank. The ruler bar when applied, spans across all the columns,
but the ruler is only active for the column that is selected as current.
