The heading position, number of columns, column separation rules (vertical lines) and paragraph indentation can be specified either for the entire document or for chapters and/or sections.
In addition the page numbering system used can be changed and chapters can be forced to start on the next page or the next left or right hand page. Sections can be made to start immediately or on the next page.
Changes can be made either to an entire document, chapter or section or to its body. If the entire structure is selected some changes will work differently than if its body is selected. For example spacing can be applied before and after an entire chapter if it is selected or to its paragraphs if its body is selected.

Heading above columns.
Heading hanging in left hand margin.
You can specify the number of columns for the entire Document, a Chapter or a Section up to a maximum of nine.

A special feature enables EasiWriter to balance text between columns, distributing it evenly between them rather than waiting until the bottom of the page is reached before starting a new one.
Unbalanced Balanced Balanced and justified
Columns of text can be justified vertically to align the bottom lines of each column. EasiWriter does this by adjusting the vertical separation of paragraphs. In some circumstances i.e. very short columns with few paragraphs, vertical justification will not be possible.
This feature enables EasiWriter to suppress indentation (or hanging margins) in paragraphs that immediately follow a heading, picture, figure, list, table or sub-section.
