    You are probably using the web version. It doesn't have a lot of special options. The best solution is just to get the Word app and try again.

    This is very simple. When typing in each column, type different things. If it tries to connect them, just start a new paragraph.

    I want to change back to a full document after the columns. Then change back to columns and so forth (Recipe title and serving size, then columns for actual recipe; then another recipe on same page.)

    At the bottom of the advanced column settings, there is a dropdown box labeled "Apply to:". Set the column number and click this to select the section you want to update. The easiest option is to highlight a section and select the "selected text" option.

    I got through the steps and create two columns "Save" it, then reopen, it is back to the single column. It created the columns but won't save.

    The issue is most likely not that it failed to save, but that your settings don't make the second column obvious. Try using the "line between" setting, and make sure you have text on both columns to see the difference.
