I would like to add a fixed content (produced by e.g. \parbox) at the top of every column of a multicols* environment. How can I do this? The optional argument of multicols* is only added on the first page and covers all columns - I need it on every page and every column. Using a table package like longtable could be a solution but I haven't found a multipage tabular package that works well with multicol.

    You can't use longtable in combination with multicol. multicol saves the content inside a save box and split them. longtable works well with twocolumn mode so you have the first method. (Note: \twocolumn always starts a new page). What to you want to have? Do you want to break at special points? – Marco Daniel Oct 21 '11 at 15:16
  • you can redefine the header of pagestyle francy} via the optional argument of multicols. With a \vbox of 0pt you can set the multicols header deeper than the default header. –  Oct 21 '11 at 18:39
  • @Herbert: That's my current solution (put the fixed content into the page header). But it looks bad if there is only one column on the last page (I use multicols*). – Martin Schröder Oct 21 '11 at 19:25

You don't provide a minimal example, so I hope to get away by reminding you on this:

multicolumn long table or enumeration

As far as I understand your question, you could use \tablehead of supertabular to print your »fixed content«.
