Sadly that won't work for me. I have too many pages. I have 100 pages, each
with two columns. The entire document is ONE continuous textflow. No page
breaks or anything -- ** no thank you I do not need lessons in layout
becasue I am a trained typesetter **
I need to find a way to prevent Word from flowing text into some of these
columns. Putting text boxes in those columns doesn't work because of a
stupid bug in Word that will cause it to run at least one line of text under
ANY text box regardless of whether there's room or not, destroying the
entire layout in the process.
Linking up all text in text boxes doesn't work either beause of the archaic
32 text box link limits that should have been removed decades ago.
Anyway, I'll switch to Quark XPress again, I suppose, where features work
the way they are supposed to.
