Fine-tuning columns
In addition to adjusting the number of columns in a text frame, the width of the columns,
and the space between them, you can create a headline that spans columns (also known as
a “straddle head”) and automatically balance the amount of text in the columns.
Creating a straddle head
The headline for the sidebar box needs to span the three columns. You can do this with a
paragraph format rather than by placing the headline in its own text frame.
1.
Using the Type tool ( ), click in the “TRY IT @ HOME” headline.
2.
If the Paragraph panel is not open, choose Type > Paragraph.
3.
Choose Span Columns from the Paragraph panel menu.
Tip
You can also choose Span Columns from the Control panel menu when the
Type tool is selected.
