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.
Obvious answer: Use CALC which already is formatted in columns and rows.
making the placements behave.
When you get what you want, then copy/paste into the WRITER document.
I doubt the transfer from Calc into Writer wold be all that clean,
though I haven't played with that. A two-column table really should work
just fine, but Julio is finding that formatting one column's text is
affecting the other column. I'm not sure why that would be happening.
Julio, could you explain more about what you're doing to format text in
one column, and what you see happening to the other one? Are you
modifying the Table Contents paragraph style? Also, can your text get
more than a page in depth, or otherwise need to deal with page
boundaries? If so, what would you like to have happen then?
