Change margins and column layout on specific pages

The following steps always produce either a single-column layout or a multicolumn layout with equal-width columns.

If you want to create a multicolumn layout with unequal column widths or gaps, use one text frame for each column, and position the text frames one by one.

Select the text frame whose margins you want to change by Control-clicking the frame.
Choose Format > Customize Layout > Customize Text Frame.
Do the following:
- To change the margins, specify the new size and position in the Unrotated Size and Offset From areas. The Offset From Top and Offset From Left options specify the top and left margins. The bottom and right margins are then determined by the text frame’s width and height.
- To change the number of columns or the gap between columns, change the values in the Columns area.
Click Set.

Tip: Another way to change the margins is to select a text frame and then drag a resize handle. When you resize a multicolumn text frame, the column widths change to fit within the text frame, but the column gap remains the same.
