 +====== Text > Columns ======
 +
 +A [[pagetypes|page]] which displays text and other content in columns.  Note that you can also create  columns with the Multi-Navigator page, and that if you are unsure of the most effective way to organise and present information in your project, it may be better to work with the Multi-Navigator page, because you can input the information and then experiment with the format.
