I found this to work.
at the end of your section of colums, type in some text
select it.
choose format - columns, and choose any number of columns EXCEPT 1
it will make a new section with the number of columns.
now you can do the format columns again and choosing 1 will work.

I did find the column break, but what I mean is is after a page, let's
say, I don't want columns anymore. I can't escape 3 columns and get back
to 1, aka a regular page...
Okay, then that is a different issue. What you need to do is create
page styles from the Stylist (F11) for each type of page. That is,
create a style called "3Columns" which defines the 3 columns on the
page. The "Default" style can be set to 0 columns as normal. You
simply use the Insert -> Manual Break -> Page Break to define pages
and apply the styles you need to each page.

This is not the issue, Jonathon.
The issue is that you might want to use 2 sections _on the same page_, for instance, one section with 3 cols and another with 1 col. To do this is difficult and I do not know how to direct a person to do it easily.
An "Insert-> Manual Break-> section break" would solve the problem.

Also, and related with this, in the "Format->Sections" window you cannot easily create a new section in a specific place int the section hierarchy - there no "new section" in the window!
(OOo 1.9.104 in Linux, but the problem goes back to OOo 1.x)
