The normal (default) style is called "flexibleformat". This +is described with \twocolumns and \threecolumns markup. There is an +optional style you can use called "fixedformat." The flexible format can be +changed to the fixed format by inserting the markup \fixedformat before the +first two or three column markup appears. + The Fixed format makes each column act as if it were a single page. +Inserts and footnotes will appear in each column just as they would in the +single column format. Only the running head and running foot will print +across the full width of the page. + + ã|Notes:ã% + +Since each column is handled like a normal single column page, the columns +may not be balanced. A short right hand column will remain short when +formatting is completed. + The Fixed format cannot be used to format combinations of single, +double, and triple columns on the same page. The two column and three +column markup can be used in conjunction with one another, but not on the +same page. If both format markup appear on the same page, TEXT1 will fill +the bottom of the current column on the current page with white space and +change to the new format on the following page. + Once the fixed format has been specified, it will remain in force for +the remainder of the document. The Fixed format cannot be changed to the +Flexible format again within the same document. |
