FM9 and Columns

[Art Campbell]

I'm not seeing in your mention that you're working on the Master pages
that control formatting for all pages in a file. Any global changes
such as this need to be made on Master pages, not the body pages that
carry the copy (and which are controlled by the Masters).

Again, the last lines don't have to be exactly balanced, but the content should be approximately balanced between the 2 columns.
