Libreoffice: splitting part of content into multiple columns

Question

I have a piece of text (and other content) in a Libreoffice writer. I would like to split a paragraph of this content into several columns and leave the text before and after unaffected.

How can I do that?

Answer 1

• Highlight the paragraph or list that you want to split into columns.
• Click "Format" (located in the menu bar)
• Click Columns
• Choose how many columns you want.
• Click OK

Answer 2

Go to insert, section, columns. You can choose there the number of columns and the space between them. Then you need to insert the text into the section on your page.
