Probably moved for some reason. Alternative: Format -> Page -> Columns Or customize the menu: Tools -> Customize
It hasn't moved. The page column format is just that, the entire page. You can format an entire page into columns, but there is no way to format selections into column format. Selection column format is not present in this software version in any menu.

The dialog tool you seek for you work flow remains but is now manipulated from the Insert -> Section: Columns tab. The structure of ODF and the document canvas have always used "Sections" not columns--by default a section of 1 column.
