Re: How do I create continuous section breaks within columns?

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hello -

Thanks for the quick response Stefan. Unfortunately, I didn't acheive the
behavior I was looking for. When using that option as you suggested, after
creating the Continuous Section Break, column 2 (the right column) moves text
down to line up with the section break that was created. Basically, the
behavior is the same as adding a Column Break. Is there a way to create that
section break within the column *without* moving the text in the right column
downwards (i.e. no white space in the second column)?

Thanks again.
