Equivalent Column Break

[Anita]

In MSWord you can insert a column break when doing newspaper columns. If I
have two text frames connected, and I am almost at the bottom of one but want
Publisher to start at the top of the next one, how do I insert a 'break'? or
do I have to press return until it move the text.

Thanks

(1) You could shorten that column so that your text breaks where you want it
to.

(2) Or you could check the Help file and search for "insert break".

Insert a column break

You can insert a column break anywhere in a text box. If the text box
contains more than one column, the text that follows the column break will
start in the next column. If you are in the last column of a text box (or
the text box contains only one column) and it is part of a story, the text
will start in the next connected text box.

Click where you want to insert the column break.
Press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER.

Note To remove a column break, place the insertion point just to the left
of the first character in the text that was moved, and then press BACKSPACE

Please note: This was taken from Pub 2003 - you did not state which version
you were using.
