For a master page to contain unequal-width columns of text, or to set up the layout for a newsletter or other document in which the articles don’t flow continuously from the first page to the last, you use multiple text frames—one for each column. For example, for a page with two unequal-width columns, you would add a second template text frame.
You can add a template text frame by drawing it or by duplicating an existing one.
To draw the text frame, use the Place a Text Frame tool on the Graphics Toolbar. To draw more than one text frame, draw them in the order you want them connected.
In the Add New Text Frame dialog box, click Template For Body Page Text Frame, and choose a tag from the Flow Tag drop-down list. Choose the current flow tag, unless you’re setting up a text frame for a different flow in a multiflow document.
In the Columns area, specify the number of columns in the text frame and (if it’s more than 1) the gap between adjacent columns. If you’re setting up a layout with unequal-width columns, set the number of columns to 1, because you use a separate text frame for each column.
Click Add.
Move the text frame as needed.
