Default multi column text - text flow

any easy way to get multi column text onto a page? for any architects out
there, basically tyring to do specifications on the drawings - proably divide
the 22x34 sheet into 4 columns. Ideally, would like the text to flow from
column to column, but that may be pushing it in Visio

thanks,

Larry

anybody????? getting desparate. did try to insert a multi column word file
- very strange response wihin visio. Probably not explaining it right, but
could not keep the page size in the embedded word file same as the sheet size
in visio...kept returnign to a letter size page

Larry,
You explained it correctly. It sounds like a normal Word function, but
not in the Visio list of things to do.

not that they need teh money g, but these guys are just missign the boat on
a product that can compete on a certain level with autocadd - a $4K program
that I refuse to buy yet alone learn. As a architect, I've aleay done
numerous commerical projects, with some difficulty, in visio. Doing the
project was easy, fine tuning it - such as dong these specs, multi scale
details on one sheet, dimensioning etc. were the problems. If they only
improved a few things, this could be a winner - i've sent them lists and
lists to no avail. Oh well....how many times have we heard that before.
