It's a fairly quick operation, and seems to work quite well, to compromise
between the two processes and create three linked frames with 5 columns
each. Three frames makes the maths easy as you simply make them all the
same size, leaving whatever gap between them as is necessary to separate
each column evenly. If your borders are horizontal as well as vertical,
then create solid horizontal lines to coincide with the frame tops/bottoms.

You have to link the final frame back to the first one (on the master
page). You will be told that you're about to create an auto-chain link,
but that's ok 'cos that's what you want. That way, at the end of each page
OPro will create a new one for you and flow the text into it.
