Multiple Columns in a document

Post by coachbennett1981 »

Good evening,

I have enclosed a test that I am making for my students. I made two columns but I am having some formatting issues. Specifically, the last two questions are side by side and I cannot get them to line up under one column. Also, does anyone know how to make a line (solid and vertical) go through the entire document that separates the columns? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I have attached the tex file and also the PDF

Best,

Nick

Hi,

If you want the last page not to be balanced, you can use multicols* instead of the standard multicols environment.

Use something like

Code: Select all

\setlength\columnseprule{.4pt}
Probably you'll have to adjust \columsep also.

By the way, I noticed that you are using the obsolete command $$...$$; you should use \[...\] instead (the reasons can be found in the document l2tabu).
