[libreoffice-users] Re: putting text in 2 or 3 columns on a single page

Thanks, Mike, for your suggestion. 

I had 3 ideas actually based on what I saw in the LibreOffice Writer manual.  
I wondered if Frames, or Sections, or Tables were the best approach since it looked like any of 
these might work.
Having 3 tables side by side on the same page might work but I think text for that page would have 
to be manually inserted into the tables and it wouldn’t flow automatically from the first to the 
second and to the third table.

I wasn’t clear on the application of frames or sections to do this which is why I thought I’d ask 
the support email.
another person wrote me and basically suggested a section as the best solution.

But your suggestion was much appreciated.

Thanks,
Keith
