How to Create Newspaper-Style Columns

These steps show how to convert your current section or selected text into
multiple columns. If your document doesn’t have section breaks or you don’t
select specific text, the columns will be applied to the entire document.

1. Place your cursor in the section where you want to create columns. Or, select
the text you want formatted as columns. If you want the entire document
formatted as columns, you can place your cursor anywhere in the text.
2. Select the Layout tab in the ribbon.
