How to use Multiple Columns

Because NewLeaf is entirely frame-based, all you need to do to work in multiple columns is to draw a master page with a number of side-by-side frames. Text will first flow down the left-hand frame and will then wrap automatically to the top of the second, and so on.

You can use Info to find out which column you are in, and how many lines are left. To skip manually to the next column, call NewFrame '' which will take the next available frame.

If you skip to a new page, NewLeaf will always start to flow text into the first frame in the page layout. You can override this with nlFlowList to set a specific running order for the frames.
