I’ve just converted a friend’s computer to Linux and he has started using Writer for his documents. He has a document which he tells me had two columns as a Word document. In Writer the two sides are just aligned with tabs and spaces. Obviously unless he keeps exactly the original page format it turns into a complete mess.
Is the conversion from Word columns to Writer columns a bodge which just spaces out the two halves with spaces and tabs, or is perhaps his memory at fault and he had just used tabs in the Word document?
