I am trying change the background color of some text. It works fine if I am using one column. It also works fine if I am using multiple columns, but restricting my background color changes to only a single line of text in a column. However, if I have a section that I want to I change, and that section spans more than one line in a given column it does not work. What happens is that the background starts to change where you have indicated; however, instead of stopping at the end of the column, the background color changes for the entire text. See the subject entitled "Problem 1" below for an example. Is there a fix for this (and no, using a single column is not a solution.) Problem #2 is the same thing only the background change starts in the first column and extends to the second. In this case the output is even worse. It's difficult to describe, so run the code. Solutions?
