Formatting a section into columns
Use the Columns page of the Insert Section dialog box to format the
current section into columns. This page is very similar to the Columns
dialog box shown in Figure 106 on page 125. Please refer to that topic
for details.
Indenting the section from margins
Use the Indents page, pictured in Figure 124, to set indents in the
right and left margins of the current section. Enter the desired left-
margin indent in the Before section box. Enter the desired right-
margin indent in the After section box. The preview box on the right-
hand side of the page shows you how the section will look with the
indents applied.

Changing the background of the section
Use the Background page to add color or a graphic to the background
of the current section. This page is similar to the Background pages for
paragraphs, frames, tables, and other objects in OOo. For more
information, refer to Chapter 7 (Working with Styles).
Customizing footnotes and endnotes in a section
Use the Footnotes/Endnotes page, pictured in Figure 125, to customize
the current section’s footnotes and endnotes.
Customizing footnotes
If you want the current section’s footnotes to appear separately from
the other footnotes in the document, select the Collect at end of text
option in the Footnotes area.
