Evenly distributing text across columns
Evenly distributing text across columns
I can't find the check box so I can stop distributing text into a column newspaper style and evenly distribute text across columns. I've created my columns but had to stop, I was getting frustrated, I wasn't seeing what all the Open Office help pages were saying I should see.

Re: Evenly distributing text across columns
Insert your columns using a Section, and you will find the Distribute evenly checkbox,
Edit: This is only available when using multi-column sections, not when using columns defined to fill entire Pages as part of the Page Style definition. |

Thank You Rory using Section I did immediately find the check box, I need some time understanding Sections though because I couldn't make any columns with Sections, I just drew my columns by hand.

Re: Evenly distributing text across columns
Look at the Sections screen once again - there is a Columns tab
