= SUMMARY =

To balance columns within continuous divisions, insert a division break formatted for the desired number of columns and “division break:” field set to continuous. The text above this division break will be balanced evenly.

= MORE INFORMATION =

For example, if you want a page with two balanced columns on the top and three columns below, you would insert a division break at the point in the text where you want the separation to occur. You would then format this division break for two columns and set the “division break:” field to continuous. The lower division should also be formatted for a continuous division break.

This would print out as two balanced columns on the top of the page and three columns on the bottom of the page. Balanced columns are columns that are horizontally even across their respective tops and bottoms.
