Text can be laid out in multiple columns next to each other in TextMaker. You can change the number of columns within a document as often as you like. To format text in columns, use the ribbon command Layout | group Section | Columns.

Entering text in a multi-column text area is not much different from entering it in a single-column area. The only difference is that when you reach the end of the first column, your text is not continued on a new page, but is continued in the next column on the same page. In other words: a column break is automatically inserted. A page break is inserted only when you continue typing past the end of the last column.

Manual column break: If the text is formatted in columns, you can also instruct TextMaker to perform a manual column break before the automatic column break:
