You can make records print in columns (which differs from a columnar layout, where each field appears in a column).

Across first		Down first

To make records print in columns:

1	Choose Edit Layouts from the Layout menu or from the layout pop-up menu on the left side of the document window (except in Browse mode).
2	Select the layout you want to arrange in columns.
3	Click Modify.
4	Specify the number of columns you want.
5	Select "Across first" to fill the columns horizontally or "Down first" to fill the columns vertically.

To see what the document will look like before printing:

1	Choose Browse from the Layout menu.
2	Choose Page View from the Window menu.
