Yup, I used the macro recorder. The problem is: the code that it returns, doesn't specify to only do it from this point down. It returns the columncount to 1 for the whole document. Chances are, I'm just missing the syntax somewhere in the conversion between VB, and VFP. What it does to me, then, is that at first it looks perfect, with the left, and right justified text existing in 2 columns. Then once I issue the statement that I intend to change the format to 1 column 'FROM HERE ON', all of the right justified text in column 2 actually jumps down to page 2, since it now has only 1 column for the entire document. I can't seem to figure out what tells it 'FROM HERE DOWN' instead of just doing the whole thing. Doing it manually, there is a combo box under Format|columns... that specifies what this formatting should apply to. Any ideas on this issue?
