I recently tried to convert existing text from single-column to 2-column. It produced a single column running down the left side of all the pages. I got round it this way:

Open a new document and format it to 2-columns.


Return to the existing document and select all the text with CTRL-A.
Copy all the text with CTRL-C
Return to the new document and place the cursor at the start.
Right click on the document and you will see Paste with several options. In my case the option on the far right produced exactly the right result, but whatever you choose you will see a preview of it.

You could have just converted the existing document to a 2-column layout.

That said, I don't know what you mean by "It produced a single column running down the left side of all the pages". Unless the source you copied from had only short lines terminated by line/paragraph breaks, one would expect the text to span the full width between the margins. There's a macro in the Cleaning up Text Pasted from Websites, E-mails, PDFs etc. 'Sticky' thread at the top of this forum (https://www.msofficeforums.com/word/...s-e-mails.html) for cleaning up such text.

I thought I should be able to simply change the number of columns to 2, but that caused all the text to stay in the left column. I tried this several times. I also realized that I could have used simpler method, i.e. select and copy all the text with CTRL-x, then paste it back into the same document using the correct paste option.

Hi,

If I want to add additional personality descriptions or any kind of extra text in general to the game. Can I simply copy and existing OBJ ID, give it a new numerical value and then edit the new text inside the english.xml file?

This is very unclear and seems only tangetially related to the initial post from two years ago. I suggest posting a new topic.
