Use page styles (with two columns) 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). 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 a 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.
For a document with terms and
translations to appear side-by-side in
what appear to be columns, use a table
to keep items lined up so you can type in
both “columns”.
