Rate: (2 Ratings)

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.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

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

Step1
Go to the page you want to add columns to or to a master page.
Step2
Open the Layout menu and select Column Guides.
Step3
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).
Step4
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.
