Columns and Single Column

Can I have columns on the first page and then switch to full page (single column) on the same document? If so, how do I do it? I have already set up a 3 column doc. and have it set up the way I want, but I would like to add another page to it in single column.

Thanks

That can certainly be done. In several ways. If you want entire pages in three columns and other entire pages with only one column, use page styles. Read the Help on page styles, they don't work in the way the average user expects them to work. If you want to have both on one page, you need to insert sections. It's best to toy around with both in a copy of your file, so that if something goes wrong it doesn't ruin your real document.

I suggest that you only use one column pages and when you need more columns insert a Section.
