[comp.sys.mac] Word 4.0 column

A little while ago I posted asking how to make three columns equal height on a
page, if they didn't fill the whole thing  (i.e. I didn't want two page-length
columns, and the third column being only half a page tall).

I would like to thank Domingo@Colorado for telling me how to do it!

What you do is create a new section at the end of the last column, and select
'no break.'  Word will then make the three columns as equal in length as
possible.  If items are added or detracted to the list, and the column lengths
need to be re-matched, go to the new section, and set it for 'new page.'  Then
set it back to 'no break.'  It really works!

I posted how to do it, since a lot of people sent me mail saying to use page
view mode, and stick in lots of carriage returns.  That *does*, but that's awful
slow on a mere SE with a two page monitor (which slows down the CPU somewhat).
