@sockpuppet7 Yes, but I wanted something slightly different. See, you can tell it to use four columns and it will flow over four columns, but it will still be height that it extends as necessary to fit the content. Which is fine if the content does fit on the screen, but when it does not, it means you are scrolling down to read the first column, then back up to the next one and that's not so fine.
There are basically two ways out:
- break the content into sections that are short enough to fit the screen, then lay each into columns separately, or
- extend the page to the side by adding more columns instead.
The reading view in Word does the later—it shows the pages side-by-side, two or three fit on the screen and scrolling shifts the pages by one, so is a horizontal scroll. But people are not used to horizontal scrolling on the web, so web mostly uses the first method of breaking it down to sufficiently short sections. Or punting and accepting the bad scrolling.
