PUB2000: How to Balance Text in a Multi-column Text Frame
This article was previously published under Q212569
In a multi-column text frame, text flow is automatically turned on. The flow is from left to right from one column to the next. A column must be filled before the next column is started. When the font size and line spacing are the same for each column, the lower line of text in each column should line up. If two columns have a different mix of font size and line spacing, the lower line of one column may be off by as much as one line.
You can balance the bottom lines of the columns by slightly resizing the
text frame. To do this, follow these steps:
- Position the pointer over the selection handle in the middle of the lower text frame border.
- Press and hold the left mouse button and move the sizing handle up or down far enough to affect the text flow between columns.
- Find a size setting that allows the lower lines of text to be even throughout the columns.

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
