Adding text to a column with an arbitrary height will not increase the column
height even if text is already filling the column. Text will flow into another
column.
You can also insert a column break to force text to start flowing into the next
column. Anytime a column break is inserted, it is assumed that the current
height of the column is fixed. To delete the break, highlight it and delete or
or use the Backspace key right after the break.
Editing Columns in the Property Palette
You will be able to select Static or Dynamic columns, turn off columns and
change column and gutter width through the Property 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.
To create multiple columns in the In-Place Text Editor
1 If the ribbon is active, double-click a multiline text object to open the
MTEXT ribbon contextual tab. If the ribbon is not active, the In-Place
Text Editor is displayed.
2 In the In-Place Text Editor, select a column option and suboption from
columns list. You have a choice between Dynamic or Static columns.
You have two suboptions with Dynamic Columns – Auto height or
Manual height. Static Columns allows you to choose the number of
columns.
3 Adjust the column height by moving the arrows located on the bottom
left of the first column.
NOTE The arrows on the ruler on the upper right side only adjust gutter
width, not column width.
