Adding multiple columns
To display the index in more than one column:
1) Either enter the number of columns desired in the box labeled Columns or
select the icon representing the number of columns.
2) To evenly distribute the columns according to the page width, check the
AutoWidth box. If it is unchecked, you can manually set each of the following:
• Width between each of the columns
• Spacing between each of the columns
3) You can choose to have a separator line between the columns:
• Line: The width (thickness) of the line.
• Height: The height of the line.
• Position: Position of the line relative to the columns (top, middle, or bottom) if
the height is less than 100%.
