I can't tell you whether these will work, these are just things I would try.
Firstly what about the enumerate environment inside a table environment? If
that doesn't work try with \begin{tabular}{p{.5\pagewidth}|p{.5\pagewidth}}
as the beginning tabular environment.
The other thing I would try is
\begin{twocolumns} %or whatever the environment is called
\begin{enumerate}
\item 1...
\item 2...
...
\item 38...
\end{enumerate}
\end{twocolumns}
However that won't give you the line down the center... if it works.

Greets to the list,
I want to achieve a result which looks a like this.

The vertical line separating the columns is not absolutely essential, but
it would be nice.
A GUI solution is out of the question simply because there are
approximately 31,000 clauses to typeset, so please do not suggest
anything which has any of the words 'office', 'processor' or 'word' in its
name, but I am open to [x|sg]ml suggested solutions
I have tried \tabular inside \multicols but it doesn't want to work. I
would be very grateful if some LaTeXpert could advise on the \magic
\incantations to use?
I have a rather old edition of the Latex Companion to hand, but have not
found any useful suggestions therein.
I am a complete neophyte with LaTeX, please bear with me.
Many thanks.
