Yes, only one page. But in the future there will be more pages.

I think in "minipages" from (La)TeX. Is there an equal command in lout?

My first try looks like this:

@SysInclude { flyer }

@Document
@InitialLanguage { Deutsch }
@InitialFont { Palatino Base 12p }
@ColumnNumber { 3 }
@PageHeaders { None }
//

@Text @Begin
@Display @Heading { Teetasse Blue Willow }
@PP
Vor langer, langer Zeit lebte in China ein sehr reicher Mann mit dem 
Namen T`so Ling, sein riesiger Besitz erstreckte sich an den Ufern
eines Flusses, und er hatte eine wunderschöne Tochter, Koong-se, auf
die er ebenso stolz war wie er sie vergötterte.

I use a 3 column Layout but in my Layout the left column has another
format as the two on the left side.
