Before the advent of the digital age, paper-based documents like magazines and newspapers arrange text in multiple columns which could span across pages. However, since printed material is inherently different from electronic document, reading on screen could be difficult.

  1. Choose Document > Articles > Add Article Box. The pointer becomes a cross on the page.

  2. Click-drag a rectangle to create the first article box, which appears around the enclosed text, and the pointer chages to the thread icon .
    The label created along with the box consists of the article number and the sequence number thereof. For instance, the first box for the first article is 1-1, the second 1-2. The first box for the second article is 2-1, 2-2, and so forth.

  3. Move on to the next part of document to be included in the article. Click-drag a rectangle around the text and repeat until the article is complete.

  4. Press Enter to finisbh the article. In the Article Properties dialog box that follows, you may enter the title, subject, author and keywords, and click OK.
