Hello, briefly this is my first post to this list, but I have been
using OOo for 6 years and it is great. Today I created a doc with 2
columns using styles and formatting. Opened styles and formatting,
choose page, right clicked default, modify, selected columns, choose
2, then clicked OK. Great now I had a doc with 2 columns. Was able
to insert text in the right hand column, but cannot put anything in
the left column. Surely this is a simple to do.
Could you elaborate a little. As you describe your actions the result
will be "newspaper" columns, where one column flows into the next. It is
not possible to enter data into column 'b' until column 'a' has been
filled, unless you use a column break to force the issue.
What am I doing wrong? I created 2 columns using insert, columns,
selected 2. This allowed me to write in both columns, but the
functioning is different.
Same question here. The Insert menu does not have a Column function, so
it is difficult to guess at the cause of your problem, or how you
arrived at your result.

Peter, Thanks for your response, it was helpful. I did not know columns
in styles were newspaper style, flowing from 1 to the other. Regarding
the other, the correct path was insert, tables, not columns.
What I want is to format 2 columns where text can be entered
independently of each other, as in a flyer. With the tables format text
in 1 column moves text in other column.
Are these the only options or is there a third? Thank you for the help.
