Abstract
A text editor provides the capability of balancing data for different sets of identified columns within the same page and across multiple imaged pages. Column balancing, as used herein is the technique of dividing an entity to be displayed into a number of columns of substantially similar size. This allows facing pages in a book to be balanced, selected text data on a page to be either balanced or not balanced, and text data associated with logical document constructs (e.g., chapters) to be independently balanced.
