Hello Eritonio,

When you have the Editor open click on the View tab in the ribbon and then the two pages options would be in that section of the menus:

I asked the question wrong. I want to edit an empty page so that it has two columns.

Hello Eritonio,

Then you would need to place your content on that page in two columns.
Are you adding base text or annotations?

In both cases you should be able to achieve that using the right tools.

Here's what I got after adding two "Add text" objects and then pasted some loren ipsum text in them (First column justified, the second one deliberately left unjustified):

The number of columns can be specified in the options for creating a new document from text or the clipboard. Perhaps this might help you with something you want to do.

Hello rakunavi,

Many thanks! That is indeed also a good option that I didn't think of yesterday!

Kind regards,
Stefan
