[Solved] Insert table in column 2

Post by Vinalls »

I have split my landscape page into 2 columns and I have created a table in column one which I want to copy and paste into column two. For some reason it will only paste into column one on a new page! What am I doing wrong...? Any assistance would be appreciated :)

Hi and welcome to the forum!

No page break inserted with the table (check Text flow tab of the table)?
Can you upload a sample file (see: How to attach a document here)?

There is a page break before the table. That will put the table on a new page. Change the page break to a column break.

I tried doing that but now I can't get the curser into the second column at all...?
