footers and paragraphs in multi-column docs

T

I have two questions.

First, is it possible to make a footer span only one column of a two-column
document?
Second, is it possible to insert a continuous section in the center of a
justified paragraph and not lose the justification of the final line prior to
the continuous section? The reason for doing this would be to insert a figure
that spans both columns of the document at a specific point while keeping the
text in multiple columns.

Thanks in advance for any help that you can provide.

You can give the footer paragraph a left or right indent to confine it to a
single column. If you need footer material in both columns, you could use a
two-column borderless table in the footer.

If you insert the figure with Square wrapping, you won't need any section
breaks at all.

The footer still occupies the entire bottom portion of the document (I
realize that this is probably the definition of a footer) but I have seen
several examples of where the "footer" is confined to a single column and the
other column on the page extends below the beginning of the footer. (This is
in Word 2007.) I am guessing this is a text box disguised as a footer?
