SYMPTOMS
When you design a Web page using Publisher 2002 and create a text box with multiple columns, the columns appear as a single-column text box in Web page preview or when the page is saved as a Web page.



WORKAROUND
To create the appearance of multiple columns, create individual single-column text boxes, and then align them across the page.

To flow the text from one text box to the next, follow these steps:
 * 1) Click Create Text Box Link on the Connect Frames toolbar.
 * 2) Position the insertion point in the text box that you want to link to, and then click to establish the link.
 * 3) Repeat steps 1 and 2 as necessary for the remaining text boxes (if any).



MORE INFORMATION

 * 1) Open a blank publication.
 * 2) Add a text box, and then add text.
 * 3) Right-click in the text box, and then select Format text box on the shortcut menu.
 * 4) Click the Text Box tab, and then click the Columns button.
 * 5) Set the Number box to 3 columns.
 * 6) Click OK. Click OK again.
