openoffice writer guide
Hi,
Hope you guys are doing well. i just have a query about the "column" section of your writer guide in which it is written that if " the text is distributed equally the writer fills first line of each column followed by second line of each column and so on". How is it possible that when we are reading any column the column text flows from first column followed by second column and so on but the writer while distributing text evenly fills first lines of each column followed by second lines of each column and the text will flow across columns?How does writer prevent that?
Yours sincerely.

Text flows down the column. When it gets to the bottom, it starts at the top of the next column. If you have sufficient text for your need in the first column, you can /Insert /Manual Break /Column break to tell OpenOffice to start filling text in the next column.
I haven't had time yet to look at what the manual says.
If you need text aligning across columns, don't use the Column option. Instead use a table with as many rows and columns as you require. Insert your text in the first cell. When you have sufficient, move to the next cell in that row and insert the matching text. You need to decide when you have sufficient text in each cell - OO won't automatically flow text to the next cell.

The writer guide has over 500 pages hence a chapter and page number will
be helpful.
