n652364.docx: just open this one page document in LibreOffice

Handling a manual column break is easy. Handling a section column break is hard
because this is completely different from LibreOffice's use of sections. The
previous section will need to be expanded to encompass this section.

I'm not sure what the purpose is of having one column be in a different section
than another column in Microsoft office, but fortunately there don't seem to be
many examples of them. Likely this is a new capability, because I don't see how
to create this in Word 2003.

This document ought to be a single page, and the two Text 1 entries should be
in column 1 while the two Text2 entries should be in column 2.

Instead, Text1 is balanced across both columns, and then there is a page break
before the pair of Text 2 entries - which are no longer in columns.
