What are columns?Show answer
Columns split the text into vertical blocks, like a newspaper or newsletter. You choose the number of columns (for example two), and the text flows down the first column then continues at the top of the next. Columns make a newsletter look professional and are easier to read for short blocks of text.
What are page numbers?Show answer
Page numbers are added as a field, usually in the footer. Because they are a field and not typed text, the software fills in the correct number on each page and updates them all if pages are added or removed.
What are page breaks?Show answer
A page break forces the next content onto a fresh page. This is far more reliable than pressing Enter many times, because the break stays in place even if you add or delete text before it. Use a page break to start a new chapter or section on its own page.
What is margins too narrow for printing?Show answer
Very small margins can be cut off by the printer. Keep a sensible margin so nothing is lost at the edge.
