1. In Open Office, click on the "Format" toolbar at the top of the window.
2. Now select "Columns..."
3. The "Columns" dialog box will now pop up. You will see five small graphics side by side, each depicting a different arrangement of columns. If you would like to have two columns in your document, choose the image that looks like two side-by-side columns in a newspaper.
4. Click "OK." The dialog box will close, and your document will be automatically reformatted to have two columns on each page. The text will wrap from the first column to the second before continuing onto the next page.
