Moriturimax Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Just downloaded and installed it, wondered if I was missing where you put a way to divide a text frame into more than one column? Or are you going with having to place every text frame manually, ie, 2 separate frames on the same page? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walt.farrell Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 When you select the Text Frame tool, you should find additional options in the Context menu, one of which is the number of columns.

Cineman Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 The easiest way I've found (which is a nice surprise because it saves clicks vs. InDesign) is once you drag a text frame onto the document, the "Options Bar" (I forget what Affinity calls it) displays a "Columns" control. Piece of cake. Place cursor in one of the gutters to scale one column width relative to the neighboring one. Unfortunately don't see a gutter width control in the Options Bar but I'm sure there is one somewhere. Right-clicking inside the gutter didn't reveal any context menu.

One of the tutorial videos also explains this quite nicely. Cineman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
