Having 3 templates is a painful way to do things. Here's a Readme that lets you have any number of columns as defined by a single Customvar.
Auto Multi Columns.
This readme will allow you to lay products out in any number of columns.
The number of columns can be altered by setting a Custom Property.
Replace Act_ProductBody.html with the following:-
<!-- ProductBody HTML begin -->
<!-- Insert HTML for the top of the product body -->
<script language=JavaScript>
<!--
var currentcol = 0;
var colwidth = Math.floor(100 / CUSTOMVAR:NUMCOLS);
// -->
</script>
<div align="right"><a name="sectiontop">
NETQUOTEVAR:PARENTSECTIONSTOP
</a><a name="sectiontop">
<!-- NETQUOTEVAR:TOPLEVELSECTIONSTOP -->
NETQUOTEVAR:SECTIONLISTTOP
NETQUOTEVAR:TOPSECTIONSEPARATOR
NETQUOTEVAR:CARTERRORLISTXML

NETQUOTEVAR:HIDDENINPUT
<BR>
<TABLE WIDTH="500" COLS="3" BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="10" CELLSPACING="0" ALIGN="CENTER">
NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTBULK
<script language=JavaScript>
<!--
if ( currentcol != 0 )
{
while ( currentcol++ < CUSTOMVAR:NUMCOLS ) document.write('<td width="' + colwidth + '%"></td>');
document.write('</tr>');
}
// -->
</script>
</TABLE>

<DIV ALIGN="RIGHT"><a name="sectionbottom">

<!-- Insert HTML for the bottom of the product body -->
<!-- ProductBody HTML end -->
Replace Act_ProductLine.html with the following:
<!-- ProductLine HTML begin -->
<!-- Insert HTML for the top of the individual product -->
<!-- NETQUOTEVAR:INCLUDE Act_ProductSeparator.html -->
NETQUOTEVAR:ENDSEPARATOR

<script language=JavaScript>

Go into Actinic / Advanced / Custom Properties, click the "+" sign
and create a property called NUMCOLS of type text. OK out.
Go Design / Options / Site Defaults / Properties, click the "+" sign
and select NUMCOLS. Set its value to 3 (for 3 columns, 4 for 4 , etc).
(if using Business uncheck Searchable and check Use as Customvar).
You can set this value on a per Section basis if required by opening the Section,
selecting Properties and setting it as above.
