Setting up a database to print records in columns

You can make records print in columns (which differs from a columnar layout, where each field appears in a column).

Across first Down first

To make records print in columns:
1 Choose Edit Layouts from the Layout menu or from the layout pop-up menu on the left side of the document window. (The layout pop-up menu does not appear in Layout mode.)
2 Select the layout you want to arrange in columns.
3 Click Modify.
4 Specify the number of columns you want.
5 Select "Across first" to fill the columns horizontally or "Down first" to fill the columns vertically.

To see what the document will look like before printing:
1 Choose Browse from the Layout menu.
2 Choose Page View from the Window menu.
