Hello,
I'm setting-up a one-page news-release that has two columns,
but can't seem to find a way to change the widths of the columns.
Thank you,
Morty
Hi Morty—
1) I only wanted two columns, but you're suggesting I make two out of 3 (?)
An easy way to divide the page equally is to use the page margins as a grid. If that is confusing, don't worry about the grid. Just draw the frames. The one on the left should be narrower than the one on the right. Keep it simple.
...
2) But then I'm typing above the page margin if I can't draw the text frame within the margin
—and why couldn't I?
ACTUALLY, even with the text frame above the page margin, I can begin

Thank you, Rob—I'm working on Barb's replies right now,
and so I haven't really gotten into yours yet.

Barb (and all), thank you for your continued support.
I understand, and have understood, the limits of help at community, and I have done my best to learn
elsewhere—Visual Quickstart Guide to InDesign CC, a friend who has been a pro for years using InDesign,
and searches online—but this news letter is the LAST thing I'll ever do in InDesign because it's the last
thing I'm doing for the book I've done in InDesign that is the last book I'll ever do.
Thank you for the link to the free trial period at lynda.com—I signed-up for it and have studied the first two parts,
which are the only two relevant to my one-page news-release.
I have created, at your suggestion, a one-column page and have drawn two text frames in it,
which is all I've done with it so far, but I thought I should answer some questions you had before that, which
I don't think we need to follow-up on…

2) But then I'm typing above the page margin if I can't draw the text frame within the margin
—and why couldn't I?
ACTUALLY, even with the text frame above the page margin, I can begin typing WITHIN the page margin. I that okay, then?
3) No—I could delete the text in the left text frame, but not in the right…
Yes, the right text frame is on the body page…
No, the right text frame is not locked.
Sincerely,
Morty
