How to get rid of long columns under images

    Hello! I’m hoping you can help. Bit of an issue with column formatting.

    At the top of one of my webpages, I have it setup so that I’ve got some text on one side and then an image on the other. In order to achieve this I needed to set it up as two columns.

    However, the image has somehow created a full length column down one side of the page. So that all of my written content only fills one side of the page and there is whitespace on the other. Let’s say the ‘T’ is text and ‘O’ is the image.

    It looks like this: But I want it to look like this:

    TTTTTTT OOO TTTTTTTTOOO
    TTTTTTT OOO TTTTTTTTOOO
    TTTTTTT TTTTTTTTTTT
    TTTTTTT TTTTTTTTTTT

    I know a longwinded workaround, but I feel there must surely just be a button or two I could press to get this formatting corrected?

    Any help much appreciated!

    Well I’ve created a workaround for now, but it was very longwinded. And I have other similar pages to create so I don’t want to have to go through that pain again.

    I just feel there must be an easy way to transition from a two column set-up. Basically, in the first para I have a two-column: text followed by image. But then when I copied and pasted text into the rest of the document it automatically set the rest of the page as a two column.

    I.e. the image seemed to have made the rest of that column (going down the page) as it’s own space. And no text could go there. I just figure there must have been an easy way to rectify that.

    If what you want is to add text on one side and an image on the other, I’d suggest using the block Media&Text:

    Media & Text Block

    You won’t need to add columns then.
    If you do, however, to add another paragraph that takes the whole width of the page, instead of using the enter key on your keyboard, use the + sign on the top left to add a new paragraph or a block of your choosing. This will add the new block outside of the Columns Block.
