RE: 2 Column Layout Problems

[Thomas Neuburger <thomasn@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

For me it's been critical. I'm looking at an 8000+ pg docset, breaking 1000 
pg books into smaller sets and making tables out of engineering-produced 
tabbed and bulleted lists in the process. I've never seen with so many 
tables in my life, and this internal error thing, once it starts, works 
like a clock. Ugh. Glad I didn't get hit with it two years ago.
