Columns

WPTools 5 "Premium" supports columns.

Please note that "text balancing" is not supported.

This code starts a 2 column layout at the current paragraph with 0.5 cm margin inbetween.

WPRichText1.ActiveParagraph.ASet(WPAT_COLUMNS, 2);

WPRichText1.ActiveParagraph.ASet(WPAT_COLUMNS_X, WPCentimeterToTwips(0.5));

WPRichText1.Refresh;

This code will ceate 3 columns

WPRichText1.ActiveParagraph.ASet(WPAT_COLUMNS, 3);

WPRichText1.ActiveParagraph.ASet(WPAT_COLUMNS_X, WPCentimeterToTwips(0.5));

WPRichText1.Refresh;

With this code a column break is inserted so this paragraph will be moved to next column or page. The user will need this functionality if a column should not be extended to the end of the page.

include(WPRichText1.ActiveParagraph.prop, paprNewColumn);

WPRichText1.Refresh;

To switch of column layout use

WPRichText1.ActiveParagraph.ASet(WPAT_COLUMNS, 1);

WPRichText1.ActiveParagraph.ADel(WPAT_COLUMNS_X);

WPRichText1.Refresh;

Column properties are loaded and saved in WPT and RTF format.
