I produce a tiny newsletter using TeX (2.93) and I use to set my pages in 3 or
2 columns. I use \vsplit and simple \vtop-methods for accomplish that. I have
done a few experiments with \parshape ... ... but I think it's a bit awkward
for my purposes. Now I will set a part of a page like this, with a picture
in the center of two columns, perhaps also 2 \vrule (where I've put the |'s).
How am I supposed to do? Must I necessary split both columns in two
paragraphs with no \parskip or \parindent and then use \hangindent and
\hangafter? Or can I use \parshape in a smart way? Or is it any other
intricate way to do it?

and if it's easy :-) Can I use figures of different shapes? Circles?
