    Hi,

    I'm trying to into indesign and have been watching tutorials and trying to work things out.

    Is there a way to have a two collumn text frame but to put a title running across the two columns? It looks in CS5 there is a feature that does this… is there a way to do it in CS4 or something similar?

    Thanks

    Sorry, but that feature was introduced in CS5.

    I am still using CS4 and find that to achieve this I need to create a new text block running across the top of the two columns. Often I do this by making the original text block a two-column block, moving its top edge down a little (experience teaches you how much) and then, with the text tool, clicking the “continued from” box in its top right edge and then dragging a new text block in the newly-created space above the original text block.

    Hope that makes sense. If not, then i may need to create some screen snaps to demonstrate it.
