Is it a contents of the same thread / Story - or two separate threads / Stories?

@Robert at ID-Tasker What Is a thread / Story?

Ah, no, sorry. They are separate text frames. So the left side shouldn’t flow over into the right one. Basically, my setup will be: on one side, we list out positive things, and on the other side, negative things. So they shouldn’t mix. Hope this makes sense!


@Robert at ID-TaskerI can’t seem to figure out how to set up the two columns to go across multiple pages since there is a lot of content that won’t fit on one page. How can I do that?

Two columns or two text frames side by side.

Paragraph style for the heading and one for the bullets.

 

That's really all there is to it. If you need details, let us know.

@BobLevineThank you! I think I will try the two-column option. This is achieved with the table feature, right?

You can go that route if you'd like but I would create two text frames side by side.
