[SOLVED] Columns interfere with each other

[JohnDough56]

I divided the page into several vertical columns. Adding or deleting spaces in any of the columns makes the text move accordingly in all columns to the right. How can I stop this please? Thank you very much.

Can you upload a small document demonstrating this problem? I can't think of a way to do that. To upload a file, click PostReply and look for the Upload Attachment tab just below the box where you type a response.

Text flows from one page column to the next automatically. That's how page columns work. Try using a multi-column table instead. Text does not flow from cell-to-cell in a table.

Thanks Bill, I misread the question.

Bill, is that the same as a spread sheet or is there another form more suitable? tyvm

You can insert tables into Writer documents. The cells of the table are independent, so text in one will not affect another. Use the menu Table -> Insert. You can set the number of rows and columns in the dialog but it is simple to insert more rows or columns if you need to later.
