How to Make a Column in Google Docs
Google Docs supports 1, 2, and 3 columns through **Format** → **Columns**. You can apply columns to the whole document or only a selected section.
Apply columns to the whole document
- Open the document.
- Go to Format → Columns.
- Pick the 2 or 3 column layout—the entire document reflows.
Apply columns to a selection only
- Highlight the text that should be in columns.
- Format → Columns → choose 2 or 3.
- Docs adds invisible section breaks before and after the selection so the rest of the document stays single-column.
Adjust spacing and add a line between columns
- Format → Columns → More options.
- Set Spacing (gap between columns) and check Line between columns if you want a divider.
Force a column break
When you want text to jump to the next column, place the cursor and use Insert → Break → Column break.
