[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 452 bytes --]

Is there a way to format lists into multiple columns.  I want to do this in order to preserve screen real estate and limit the number of pages used in printing.

For example:

* Fruits
1. Apples
2. Oranges
3. Pears
4. Strawberries
5. Grapefruit
6. blueberries
7. nectarines

Would Be

* Fruits
1. Apples               5.Grapefruit
2. Oranges            6.blueberries
3. Pears                  7.nectarines
4. Strawberries

Thanks
