Watch this:
At the end of the paragraph before the section to be two columns, place the
following ERT:
\twocolumn\setlength{\columnsep}{1in}
Change the 1 inch separation to whatever is pleasing to your eye. Then, at
the end of the last paragraph in the section to be 1 column, place the
following ERT:
\onecolumn{}
That should do it -- it worked on my 1.1.6fix4 on Mandy8.2. If you want to
get really fancy you could make a 2columnSection environment that would look
something like this:
\def\TwoColumnSection{
\twocolumn\setlength{\columnsep}{1in}%
\Section%
\onecolumn{}
}
Be aware I haven't tested the preceding code, but I think something like it
might work.
