            Bug ID: 118642
           Summary: Formatting Columns: Problem setting boundaries.
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.0.5.2 release
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: Fredclark47 at Reagan.com

Description:
I reinstalled V6.0.5, and found where to format columns.  There is a
difficulty: Creating a document in Writer, I highlighted the body of text to
format as two columns, and went through the process, and the entire document
was formatted that way, including the title and two lines at the bottom, all of
which were not highlighted.  I have not found any help documentation which
deals with this task, and if there is a way to select portions of the document
which are formatted as single column, and portions which will appear as two, I
don't know how to do that.  V6 seems to have degraded, therefore, as in V5
column formatting was simple and quick to do.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create Writer document;
2.Highlight body of text to be formatted in multiple columns;
3.Select Format~Page~Columns, select number of columns, and click Apply or OK
to see result.

Actual Results:
The entire document, including the title above and lines below the highlighted
body of text is reformatted to the multiple column configuration.

Expected Results:
The highlighted body of text ought to have been reformatted to multiple (two)
columns and the area above and below the highlighting ought to have remained in
single column, (page-wide), format.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes


OpenGL enabled: Yes
