Column lines

Column lines would be usefull and go well with click and type. I use open office writer for columns as it gives me guides to produce brochures etc.

Could you please be more specific: which column lines do you mean?

Note that the "Format | Columns..." dialog of Atlantis inludes the "Line between (columns)" option:

Yes sorry. Visible lines going down the page that seperates the columns. Like the page margin borders. This would make it easy to design brochures etc as click and type would be possible in each column.If i tick the above example no line appears on screen.

Thanks.

Note that in Atlantis you can create and print various types of booklets, including pocket-size booklets.

The problem is that these lines are displayed in Atlantis only between columns containing some text. Only when the column #1 is complete, and you start typing text for column #2, a separating line gets displayed.

Will this be implemented in a future release.
Thank you.

Sorry, but this cannot be implemented because column lines are intended to work in the present way. This is how things work in MS Word. Atlantis has to be maximally compatible with MS Word.
