hi shelly ok picture 5 pages with 2 colums each. page 5 comllum one endss and continues on page 1 colum 2 and then cuolum 2 on pages 1-5. does that make sence? so page 5 colum one reads Debby walked up to the house and then page one colum 2 reads and sat down on the portch. I cut and pasted it into m s word so it read correctly. My question is it is spread over 5 pages in the orriginal text. I plan to submit this book in r t f. I plan to replace those 5 pages with what I have done in m s word. whenn I cut and pste it do I make 5 random page breaks? any ideas? Thanks for responding shelly.
