Moving text to the second column doesn't put it in the correct place

Unread post by ingrid hughes »

Hello,

In my document, I set up a two-column format in the pdf layout editor. When I insert a page break to move text from column 1 to column 2, it leaves space at the top of column 2. I want to keep the text with the screenshot it references. How do I fix this?

Hi Ingrid,

The issue here is entering a page break in front of a list item, which is always problematic. If possible, try to avoid doing that. In this specific case you should be able to achieve a better result by applying the "Keep with next" paragraph attribute to the list item you want to have appear at the top of the second column, an possibly also to the paragraph directly after it, instead of using a page break.
