I'm working on a document in which, *for the most part*,
I want my text in two columns per page.

I can't seem to figure out how to format some pages as single columns
but other pages as double columns.

*Seems easy*, Format -> Columns...
and increment the "Columns" field from one to two.

Or, Format -> Page... /Columns\,
and increment the "Columns" field from one to two.

Only ... then *every* page in my document is in two-column format.

Okay, <F11>, click the "Page Styles" icon.
Right-click on "Default" (or any other style already listed, I imagine),
and click on "New".

In /Organizer\, enter a new name, e.g. "_my_2col", hit <TAB>,
and "_my_2col" is entered as the default value of "Next Style";
sounds good to me.

In /Page\, fix the inevitable huge margins down to .5" or eqv all around.

In /Columns\, increment "Columns" from 1 to 2,
uncheck "AutoWidth, and increment "Spacing" from 0.00" to 0.10",
so that there is a 0.20" gutter between the two columns.

Click [OK].  The new style appears in the list of Page Styles.  Great!

Select one or two (but not all) pages of text,
and double-click "_my_2col".
Ta-da!  Now *ALL* pages are two-column, not just the selected ones.
