Column Flow Description

Creating headers or footers which span multiple columns is a very difficult task in InDesign. This is because all column settings are set by the text Frame. Creating different column settings requires creating a new text frame each time that the number of columns change. The text frames must then be manually positioned. Column Flow attempts to simplify this process by allowing the setting the number of columns within paragraph styles. Each style applied in the story must have the number of columns defined. Once properly set up, Column Flow will flow the text and add / remove text frames as necessary to properly flow the text. It can flow text one PaGE at a time. It can flow an entire story. It can even flow an entire document composed of many stories. To further insure proper positioning of the text frames, text blocks can be automatically aligned to the baseline grid, and specific paragraph styles can be defined as headers. (So they will always appear above the following text block.)
