Is there any way to create a headline that spans 2 columns in word processing mode, besides inserting a text box? When I add a headline an inserted text box, it doesn't appear in the automatic table of contents. Any work-arounds?

Too achieve the result in my previous post, I had the headline text as a single paragraph. A second paragraph followed it. Once I had applied the heading paragraph style to the first paragraph, I then selected all of the body text for the second paragraph, and then I chose the Layout tab, set my 2 columns on that selected paragraph text, and arrived at what you see above.

Let your Headline be a one line paragraph with the appropriate paragraph style, and the next paragraph be the beginning of your two column layout. When you generate the table of contents, be certain to enable that particular paragraph style in the Table of Contents > Customize Styles so it will appear in the ToC. No Text boxes were used here.
Thanks for your help.
I've tried that. I type the headline, hit return, then select the headline and apply the desired style. Then to start the 2 column body, I go to layout and switch to 2 columns, it switches the headline and the body to two column. What am I doing wrong?
NEVER MIND. I experimented and discovered that all I have to do is start typing the body, then select what I've typed and THEN go to layout and change to 2 columns.
Simple when you know that one itty bitty thing. This will make my life so much easier! Thank you!
