Hey,
Thank you for all the replies. As for the instructions below (Insert -->
Section,) Unfortunately, it
didn't work. The result was a new section was created in 1 out of the 3
columns. (I made a screenshot and attached it...)
However, I did manage to do it by hitting "Enter" before I select columns,
and then making a section on the 1st line. This way, there is space for my
to click after the 3-column section, where I can create new ones. But, I
always have to make that extra line to go under. I was just wondering if a
easier way could be added....
Thanks!!!

OK. To create two section on the same page as you described, you do the
following:
1. Insert -> Section
2. Click on Columns tab and choose 3 columns. Click OK. You now have a
section with 3 columns.
3. Move the cursor to below the section outline.
4. Insert -> Section
5. Click on Columns tab and choose 1 column. Click OK.
You now have a page with two sections - one with 3 columns and one with
1 column. What is the need of a section break?

No, this is done via the Insert -> Section as described above.
I have not really seen hierarchical section before, but they can
be done. If you have the cursor within the "parent" section and
not at the top line, it will create a "child" section. If the
cursor is on the first line, it will insert a section above the
existing one (similar to table inserts). The data navigator may
help you in moving through your sections as well.
