I want to be able to add columns to a select area of a document in Pages. This is very easy to do in Office (just highlight the text you want to split into columns and choose the number of columns you want) but I haven't been able to find a way to do this in Pages. Please tell me this is possible? Thanks.
 
Go to the line before you want to add columns, and then Insert > Layout Break. Then go to the line after you want to add columns, and do Insert > Layout Break.

Then go inbetween (where the text you want putting into columns should be), open the inspector, Layout (second from the left), and change the columns to 2 (or however many you want).

Not the best implementation, but AFAIK the only way to do it. One of the many things I'm hoping for in Pages '11!
 
Thanks for the reply! Although I figured out the solution about ten minutes after making the post xD Thanks anyway!!
