I have a single page document that is split into two columns. I have
adjusted the size of the columns so that the left hand one is narrower
than the right. Both columns have text and different background colours.
When I export this to PDF the background colour in the right hand column
only shows up to the orginal left hand margin of the second column. All
the text in the column is exported correctly to the adjusted left hand
margin, but the background colour does not. Anyone else had this issue
and found a way round it?
I've set up a document in the way I think you mean (tell me if I'm
wrong)
1. Open new window, change page to two columns (Menu over section
indicator> Document, select click on style indicator and change
Number to 2 in the Columns dialogue)
2. Insert some text to fill the whole page (I did shift+ctrl+O a few
times for "Lorem ipsum")
3. Highlight the text in the first column, then drag the right margin
marker on the ruler bar left thus making the column thinner.
4. Apply background colour by clicking on Borders icon (ticking the
"Background colour" icon under the "Colours" then select something
random)
5. Highlight and do the same in the second column.
6. Export to PDF.
It looks okay to me. Though I'm not sure if it's what you are getting
at.
Do you have an example EW document plus the PDF file you could upload
somewhere so I can download and have a look?
