Maybe to keep the pagination right you could number
the next page with an a or b, e.g., 101a, and put a
note in the long synopsis what you've done because of
the columns.
Let me know how it works out. On several occasions
I've taken the time to make two or three columns, in
charts or, in one case, a table of contents, but I
would a lot rather have left it as one long going onto
other pages. And I'm not sure if the columns, which I
did with tabs before I knew they didn't work, and
recently did with the space bar, were readable anyway.
