I'm working on a newsletter. Whether it's web or print based is not yet carved in stone. Two columns makes things look more interesting, but it would be a bit of a problem if you had to say when each column starts.

Could you use overflow: hidden; to have the stories be cut off and then use a floating div to the right hand side that says "Read More"? I am not sure how well this would work but its worth a try I'd say.

There is rumour of columns in CSS-3. Not currently a reality. However, I hope it's only print.

I don't think you can do that with CSS...I might be wrong though :S

... of course you're assuming that I use a fixed width font. I was hoping there was a way of doing it with CSS.

so you want the content to go in column one, then two, then three automaticly?
Using PHP/ASP I suppose you could do a character count, so after you hit say 1000 characters column two starts ... or maybe count the content first then divide it by three then display it ...
