To change the number of columns for just

part of the document (or if you want text to
wrap to just the top part of the page and a
new article to start below – as shown on this
page), insert a section break before the
position where you want to start the new
column layout. To do this, on the Page

formatting for just part of the document—
such as paper size, margins, or orientation,
the best section break type to use is a Next
Page section break because it automatically
starts the new section on a new page.
However, when changing the number of
columns as you might in this newsletter, you
may prefer to select a Continuous break. The
continuous section break (used a few times
throughout this template) starts a new
section immediately after the preceding one.
So, for example, you can have a three-
column article followed by a four-column
article, on the same page.
