Writer Guide

where you can enter the desired number of columns if you need to
create a customized one.
After you select more than one column, the Width and Spacing section
becomes active. If you are not satisfied with the predefined settings
(equally spaced columns), deselect the AutoWidth option and enter
the parameters manually. When you work with multiple columns per
page, you can also fine tune the position and size of a separator line
between the columns.
Footnote page
Use this page to adjust the appearance of the footnotes. Keeping the
default setting Not larger than page area, the footnotes area is
calculated automatically on the basis of the number of footnotes. If you
prefer to control manually the maximum space that footnotes can take,
select the Maximum footnote height option and enter the value in
the preferred unit of measurement. Use the second section of the page
to customize the separator between the footnotes and the main area.
Example: A book chapter sequence of pages
Book chapters typically start on a right-hand page, with the first page
of the chapter having a different layout from the rest of the pages. The
other pages in the chapter are “mirrored” for double-sided printing.
For example, page numbers in the header or footer may be positioned
on the outside edge of pages and a wider margin (allowing for binding)
may be placed on the inside edge.
Table 4 shows the properties of two page styles ( Right Page and
Default ) set up for a typical book chapter’s sequence of pages.
