[mso] Re: Isolate 3-Column Formatting (Word2003)

Dave is right that you're probably just deleting the section break and that
you should hit Shift + Control + 8 to display then when deleting stuff to
ensure they stay in place. And that inserting Textboxes and setting the flow
to each might work better. 

Here's a few articles and video lesson that might help...

Hi Dave,

Thanks for the reply.

<<What you are doing - deleting most of the information, but not all of it -

is almost certainly the easiest way of keeping control.>>

I adopted this technique as a "work-around". It is effective, but I thought
I 
might have been misusing the section break between the ne-column pages and
the 
three-column page. The three linked text boxes is a viable alternative.
Thanks 
for mentioning that.

Ray Shapp
