Following the instructions in Help-Specific Manuals-Multicolumn Manual, I
placed the ERT commands \begin{multicols} {2} and \end{multicols} around a
body of text that I wanted to appear in double columns.
The script doesn't run and the following message appears:
Errors:
LaTex Error: Environment multicols undefined.
LaTex Error: \begin{document} ended by \end{multicols}.
Description:
\begin{multicols}{2}
Your command was ignored, etc.
Now why would my command be ignored?
Attached is a minimal example that reproduces the error.

Hello users.
I use Lyx 1.6.9 Memoir
I'm working on a book that requires some pages to be single column and
some to be double.
So according to something I saw somewhere, I ERTed \begin{multicols}{2}
and \end{multicols} and got the following error message:
LaTex Error: \begin{document} ended by \end{multicols}.
According to something else I read somewhere, I was supposed to insert
\usepackage{multicol} in the document preamble, which I did. Now I get the
following errors:
Missing \begin{document}
Environment multicols undefined
\begin{document} ended by \end{multicols}
Can only be used in preamble.
Can't seem to find any other info on this topic. Does anyone here have a
solution?

It appears that you did not put \usepackage{multicol} in Document >
Settings > Preamble
