Creating sections
You can create sections with the Section tool or the Column Guides
command.
The Section tool lets you place multiple sections at specified
locations on one or more pages. You can also use the tool to
modify sections.
The Column Guides command lets you place sections on
pages that dont contain sections. If the current page has sec-
tions, the Column Guides command lets you change the set-
tings for any section on the page.
Whether you are creating or modifying sections with the Section tool
or the Column Guides command, the Column Guides dialog box is
the control center for configuring sections.
When you create a section, the sections column guides appear on a
guide layer in the document. By default, guide layers are non-printing
and have a bright blue override color. You can use the Document
Layout palette to change the override color or make a guide layer
printable.
When you add text to a section, Canvas creates a text object in each
column in the section. The text objects are placed on the current
layer.
