Yes, there will be some columns. Since it's for an online backup solution which is pretty dang simple to install, I doubt many would actually print out the document. Instead, they would reference it to fine tune the settings.

Ooooo, interesting idea. Will you use columns?

Subject: Dimensions for Landscape Manuals

Since a manual I am making will primarily be displayed only in PDF on the
screen, I want to make it landscape. I'm used to having huge monitors so
I'm trying to work out the appropriate dimensions so that the user has a
good experience seeing the whole page on one screen at 100%.
 
Right now I have it set at 10" x 6.5" with 0.4" margins.
Although I haven't had a chance to test at lower resolutions on standard
(non-laptop) monitors.
 
What dimensions do other TWs use for their landscape manuals?
