Hi,
1. Some text.
2. Select whole text.
3. Menu Format | Columns.
4. From Settings section | Columns set to 2 and OK button.
   Note: I set some spacing, to look more prettier and easier to see columns' text, but not required for test. 
5. There are two columns of text now. Export to XHTML by File | Export | XHTML file type.
6. Open file in browser like Firefox and whole text is in one single column. PROBLEM. Expected is to have two columns of text.
Regards

I am attaching sample Writer file. Just use File | Export and export to XHTML.

Ok let's set to NEW and change to enhancement. Multicolumns are a quite fresh feature in CSS.
