Allows you to format an text object into multiple columns.
You can specify column and gutter width, height, and number of columns. You can edit column width and height with grip-editing.
To create multiple columns you always start with a single column. Depending on the column mode you choose, you have two different methods for creating and manipulating columns – static mode or dynamic mode.
The following options are displayed.
Specifies no columns for the current text object.
Sets dynamic columns mode to the current text object. Dynamic columns are text driven. Adjusting columns affects text flow and text flow causes columns to be added or removed. Auto height or Manual height options are available.
Sets static columns mode to the current text object. You can specify the total width and height of the text object, and the number of columns. All the columns share the same height and are aligned at both sides.
Inserts a manual column break.
Displays Column Settings dialog box.
