+ ã|Description:ã%
+TEXT1 offers two multiple column formats that have different text handling
+capabilities. 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.
