Hello Jim,

The easiest way to do what you want is to jump to the Formatter and select the 
Layout radio button. Interact with the scroll area, and the first item is 
Columns. Set the number of columns and expand the disclosure triangle. You can 
then set the width of each column and the size of the gutter between them.

Cheers,

Anne
