Hi.

I'm using a multicol environement with two columns but I'd like some more space between the columns. I have used these commands

\setlength{\columnsep}{20mm}
\setlength{\columnseprule}{0.4pt}

but the columnsep doesn't seem to be changing. It doesn't matter if it is 20mm or 40mm or 10mm, same result.

Any ideas?

Are you putting the \setlength commands *before* \begin{multicols}?
