In this InDesign how-to video, Bart Van de Wiele shows how to span a paragraph across columns in a multi-column text frame and also split a single column into multiple “mini” columns to better fill up space.

This comes from Bart’s “10 Essential InDesign Productivity Tips” session at CreativePro Week 2021.
