Is it possible to subdivide a page in TextMaker? I am migrating to this superb software from WordPerfect and use that feature quite a bit. I worked around it for a landscape mode page by making two colums, but when a page is in portrait mode and I want to make two rows, or divide the paper top and bottom with margins, I cannot find where to do that.
Thanks for any help!

Hi Harald, I'm not sure if I quite understand your problem. There are lots of ways to subdivide a page in TextMaker, so could you please describe more in detail what exactly you want to accomplish?

Thanks so much for the quick response Jossi. I want to take a page, in portrait mode and divide it top to bottom in half, so that I have half inch margins all around both halves of the subdivided page. Essentially instead of having two vertical columns, I want to have two horizontal rows, each of them half of the page.

I think you are thinking in a too complicated way...

Simply go to object mode, insert two text frames and position them accordingly. If text should flow from one frame to the other, link them.

Thanks so much Martin. I am obviously not used to using text boxes in that way. I am used to being able to do that simply in the document setup page with check boxes to divide my paper into however many sections I want.
Will do you suggestion!
Thanks

Thanks for the help. Making text boxes certainly works, but is much more complex than what I was accustomed to in WP. I will just create several templates of the way I usually use this feature and then be ready to go when I need them.
