# Columns

Add Columns to a Document | Modify Column Widths

Columns are only available in word processing documents and frames. Columns allow you to setup a document to look like a newspaper. Consider this example:

This example has three columns laid-out across a page. Text flows from the end of the first column to the next column on the page, then to the next, and so forth. When text reaches the end of the page, it flows to the first column on the next page.
