    Has anybody created WPS-PLUS (V4) multi-column documents in a
    non-interactive setting (i.e. SCPs & BLPs or batch) for ALL-IN-1 V2.4?
    
    We have a customer who wants to take a number of documents, and merge
    them into a single, multi-column document something like:
    
    doc 1 line 1   |   doc 2 line 1   |   doc 3 line 1  ...
    doc 1 line 2   |   doc 2 line 2   |   doc 3 line 2  ...
    doc 1 line 3   |   doc 2 line 3   |   doc 3 line 3  ...
    doc 1 line 4   |   doc 2 line 4   |   doc 3 line 4  ...
    doc 1 line 5   |   doc 2 line 5   |   doc 3 line 5  ...
    doc 1 line 6   |   doc 2 line 6   |   doc 3 line 6  ...
    doc 1 line 7   |   doc 2 line 7   |   doc 3 line 7  ...
    doc 1 line 8   |   doc 2 line 8   |   doc 3 line 8  ...
    doc 1 line 9   |   doc 2 line 9   |   doc 3 line 9  ...
    
    If nobody has an answer here, I'll post it in the WPS-PLUS conference.
    
    				Thanks in advance, Dan'l

|     No answer, but an approach....
    
    Using UDP's it should be quite possible to:
    
    GOLD ]
    	RIGHT ARROW {CR}	!open up multi-column
    GOLD ]			! close multi-column
    GOLD TOP
    DOWN ARROW			! Position in first column
    GOLD GET 
    	DOC
    	FOLDER TITLE etc	! include 1st document
    DOWN ARROW			! Position at second column (may need 
    				!	to be GOLD BOTTOM and UP UP arrows
    GOLD GET
    	etc 
    	etc
    
    This appraoch should load the documents into the different columns...
