in-columnContinuousSectionBreak.docx: created by MS Word 2016

I did a bit more review into what LO and Word can do in terms of
sections/columns - and they seem to act fairly similar.


In LO's resume template, multiple sections are staying in the right column. So
how is the template doing it? I tried to reproduce that in LO with just using
sections, and was unable to do that.

Well, it is doing it through a unique LO capability of specifying columns in
the page style - which takes first priority. Then, sections can split that
apart into one more set of columns after that. MS Word has NOTHING like that,
so on export we turn page-style-columns into a section. As I mentioned in
comment 8, and as confirmed by the previous paragraphs, sections alone cannot
accomplish this layout.

LO's Page styles / columns in page styles is a major departure from the MS way
of doing things - so this resume template is impossible to export nicely to
non-ODT formats.
