Missing: Page Columns and Hyphenization?

[LaneLester]

I'm a new user of TextMaker, so I may just be missing something.

I can't find any place to set up multiple columns on a page. It's not in Page Setup, where I expected to find it. If it's really missing, I'm glad I have AndrOpen Office to create templates with multiple columns.

The hyphenization option is in Paragraph Style, but it doesn't do anything on my system. Is this a known bug?

1. Columns are in Format > Section > Columns
2. This is how hyphenation works:
1. There is a paragraph setting for hyphenation. Each paragraph may have it on or off.
2. This is also available through the paragraph style.
3. As a master override switch, there is a global setting "Hyphenate". When off, the paragraph or paragraph style setting is ignored.
This "global" setting is per-document.
if you create a new document, it inherits the global setting from the template file, but after that, the connection between document and template is cut.

So, after this explanation, if you wish that all of your future new documents have hyphenation off:
1.create a new blank document
2. right-click the blank area
3. Paragraph style
4. Normal
5. Edit...
6. Text Flow
7. Hyphenation: None
8. Save the document as your default template: normal.tmvx

[Deleted] I can't find how to do this.

Thank you for that thorough reply. I'm greatly relieved to learn that I was wrong about the missing columns.

I finally found the global hyphenation switch under Tools. So all my concerns have been met... for now.
