For more detailed information about page styles please see the

I recently started a document with 4 columns.  I then tried to have no 
columns on subsequent pages.  As far as I can tell, it can't be done 
without removing the columns from the first page.  Can you incorporate 
some method of easily discontinuing columns in a document?

Hi, Donald,

Columns are a property of page styles and sections. For what you want, 
simply assign a different page style to your second page: one with only 
one column. The "Default" style will probably suffice. The new style 
will propagate to the following pages.

Hi Donald,

Please add page break with a different page style, and then to modify the
column setting for the subsequent page..In AOO, the page settings are
applied to page style. So, you need to use page style for your scenarios.
Hope it helpful for you.Thanks.
