How to Add Columns to PageMaker Documents

In PageMaker 6.0 and 6.5, you can add columns on individual pages or use the master pages to add columns to an entire document.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• PageMaker 6.5 (Mac OS)
• PageMaker 6.5 (Windows)

1. Go to the page you want to add columns to or to a master page.

2. Open the Layout menu and select Column Guides.

3. Enter the number of columns and the space (in inches) that you want between the columns on this page (or on all the pages that use this master).

4. Click OK.

Tips & Warnings

• The space between columns is called the gutter. PageMaker's default gutter is 0.167 inches.
• To manually move the gutter between columns on a page (in essence, resizing the columns), point to the gutter, and when you see a double-headed horizontal arrow, then drag the gutter into position.
