What you are describing sound exactly like the behavior of the "Balance columns" feature. Do you have that option selected in the Column Setup dialog?<BR>

The landscape page layout has three columns of equal width.<BR>> <BR>> I imported paragraph and character formats from an 8.5 x 11" document. I then copied and pasted two pages of text, no graphics, from the same 8.5 x 11" original into the landscape page.<BR>> <BR>> The text poured into all three columns, but it broke at 8" into each column, leaving the bottom 5 inches of each column empty. I managed to get some of the text at the top of the second column to backfill the bottom of the first column: I put the cursor at the beginning of the second column and hit Backspace. About 10 lines of text moved to the previous column, but there's still room and I can't get any more of the text at the top of the second column to move back:<BR>> <BR>> ---I've checked the "Keep with Next" and "Keep with Previous" settings; they're not checked for anything.<BR>> <BR>> ---The "Start" setting is set to "Anywhere."<BR>> <BR>> ---Widow/orphan is set to 2 lines<BR>> <BR>> ---I didn't import the page layouts from the 8.5 x 11" original. <BR>> <BR>> What on earth is telling the text to break?<BR>> <BR>> Thanks for any and all suggestions, and happy Friday!<BR>> <BR>> --Nancy<BR>> _______________________________________________<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> You are currently subscribed to framers as DocuDoc@hotmail.com.<BR>> <BR>> Send list messages to framers@lists.frameusers.com.<BR>> <BR>> To unsubscribe send a blank email to<BR>> framers-unsubscribe@lists.frameusers.com<BR>> or visit http://lists.frameusers.com/mailman/options/framers/docudoc%40hotmail.com<BR>> <BR>> Send administrative questions to listadmin@frameusers.com.
