You can do so with these steps
1. pre-select your text
2. Insert > Section
3. Click Columns tab and set the column details
or like so
1. pre-select your text
2. enabled the View > Toolbars > Insert toolbar
3. Click the down area button of the Section split button and set the number of
columns
this Section split button can be added to one of the visible toolbars if you
use this feature alot.

This isnt a workaround, this is a different workflow and it also educates users
on what they are adding to their document and having a central location for
when they are modifying columns of a particular type. The entry was also
removed as it was a redundancy and as the Format menu was overcrowded.

We cant please everyone with the defaults we set, but we try to make it as good
as possible for most users, and if users dont like it, they are able to modify
it to their liking, and customization is normally limited to advanced users who
like things in a particular way.
