For a book similar to this user guide,
with one column of text, some figures
without text beside them, and some
other figures with descriptive text, use
page styles for basic layout, and tables
to place figures beside descriptive text
when necessary.
For an index or other document with
two columns of text, where the text
continues from the left-hand column to
the right-hand column and then to the
next page, all in sequence (also known
as “snaking columns” of text), use page
styles (with two columns). If the title of
the document (on the first page) is full-
page width, put it in a single-column
section.
For a newsletter with complex layout,
two or three columns on the page, and
some articles that continue from one
page to some place several pages later,
use page styles for basic layout. Place
articles in linked frames and anchor
graphics to fixed positions on the page
if necessary.
