Unhappy Column Question

When I turned to "Help", the program said that the only way to create 2 columns, on a page, was to insert 2 cells of a table and write in them.




Yet, is there a less convoluted way to create 2 columns, on a page?


Please reply.

You can use the Layout > Columns button to change the layout for the current section. If you are only talking about one page in a larger document you should put in section breaks above and below the section you want to make columns in.

For parallel columns a table is the best method. For snaking newspaper columns use the method suggested by Andrew.
