That depends on the nature of the text and what way you want it to be in columns. If it is just a large block of text that you want into newspaper-styled columns, then word processors and desktop publishers have the facility to do that. If you want text that is data, like names and addresses etc. and you want to break the data up so that all the names are in a column and the addresses are in columns, then you do something different. You separate the components on a line with commas and put each new set of data on a new line. Then it can be imported into a database or spreadsheet and the data will be split into columns based where the commas are.
