Greetings,
Some posts in the feature request section mention special symbols for column breaks and section breaks. I don't have these in my special symbols menu. Nor do I have a section break menu command set as shown in Help, sections (there is a picture of it). I am running Atlantis version 1.5.3.1.
Can anyone advise?
Thanks, Jeff
missing special symbols

The drop-down menu of the "Insert Symbol" toolbar button includes the "Column break" command. Also you could associate the "Insert Column Break" command with the desired hot key through the "Tools | Hot Keys" dialog. You could also place this command on your toolbars, or add it to your menus (Tools | Toolbars, Tools | Menus).
a work-around for tables. Not nice, but it works. (It is like the old beloved WP5.1 once worked) :
1. attribute (for example) Ctr-3 to ''column break''
2. attribute (for example) Ctr-4 to ''section break continuous'' (Robert mentioned recently how)
3. choose a column (2, 3 or 4 etc).
4. start writing. When you want to select the next column, insert ''column break'';
5. after the last column (at the same heigth) insert section break.
Succes,
Vncnt

That's just it; when I go to symbols, special symbols, to the drop down menu, "insert column break" is not there (nor is "insert section break).
Thanks, Jeff
The "insert column break" command is not on the "Special Symbols" tab of the "Symbols" dialog.
It is on the drop-down menu (down arrow) attached to the "Insert symbol" toolbar button.
Alternatively, you can assign a hot key to it ("Tools | Hot Keys...")

Thanks Robert and Vncnt for the help. The scales have been lifted from my eyes, and I now see both column breaks and section breaks. Life is good.
