Graphical mockup depicting desired result.
Hi Jacques,
Unfortunately, this does not solve my problem. I do not want the entire
document in multiple columns, I want a specific section of the footnotes in
multiple columns.
To better illustrate my desired outcome, I have attached a graphical mockup of
the effect I wish to achieve. Again, it is not currently possible to achieve
this effect, because of the bug in question: the portion of the mockup in red
text is the portion which cannot currently be achieved. I will in a subsequent
attachment include this document as it actually exists, to illustrate the
difference between the desired outcome and the actual outcome.
Using sections to format a portion of the document in multiple columns works
elsewhere in the document, as I have illustrated in my attachment, just not in
the footnotes.
Furthermore, even if allowing a section within the footnotes to be in multiple
columns is not meant to be a supported feature (in which case I would certainly
argue it should be, but setting that aside), a bug still exists, as the program
*says* the section is in multiple columns, when it is not actually formatted as
such.</pre>
