On the firing line
I'm trying to put together a newspaper style page with multiple columns, and I want text to break from one column to the next on the same page, but it keeps breaking to the next page instead of staying on the same one.

Any Open Office geeks that can help me out?

Thanks!
 


Hi SEO Mike,

Im new to this forum so figured id reply to some threads to see if I can help people out :)

Try this site it might help.

Formatting Pages - OpenOffice.org Wiki

Excuse the huge link, lol

On the right hand side it links to pages explaining the use of columns and how using frames can help you make a newspaper layout efficiently.

Hope this helps as Im not 100% sure if its the info you need :)

Yeah, I was looking at that link before. Having a hard time finding the exact info I need though. Was being a little lazy and hoped that someone else had run into something similar and could just say "do this, this and this, and you're good".

I thought that it could be set under Table --> Table Properties --> Text Flow but that didn't work.

Oh well, I just did it manually by letting them overflow onto the next page and then cutting / pasting into the next column. Slow, but works.
