Description: When writing in a layout with more than one column it is absolutly necessary to be able to switch to a one column layout. Unfortunatly, to do so is so complicated that it distracts way to much. It completly kills the workflow. So please provide some buttons for switching between one, two, three columns in a way like one can switch between left-justify, right-justify, centered. For the sake of a undisturbed workflow this is the most obvious feature you need when writing in a layout with more then one column. thanks. Steps to Reproduce: 1. write with more than one column (lets say two or three) 2. I needed to insert a headline/text/whatever spanning over all columns 3. I needed to go to a (german) help forum to get instructions on how to accomplish this trivial layout change (seen from my, a writers angle). Actual Results: I gave up instantly. Nobody (except you and your colleagues) wants to know what is necessary in the background to switch between left- and right-justify. The same goes for switching between number of columns. It has to be a one click feature as the above. Expected Results: Please give us some suitable buttons to switch between one (spaning over the whole page) or the preselected number of columns (be it two or three). Yes, this will not cover all possible combinations, but will be helpfull for the most obvious and basic needs. Feel free to make it even better ... Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: Thanks!

I don't see a problem here, if you work with sections: Steps: 1. Open a new document, insert a heading. Press Enter 2. Insert -> Section -> choose number of columns in the column tab (and of course you can edit the section later and change number of columns. It's also possible to use the column icon, after adding it to the toolbar) Does this solve your problem? If not, please attach a sample document, that makes problem visible. Thank you => NEEDINFO
