two columns text in a page (????) Journals style.

[tana]

Hello world!
I guess this must have been asked b4.
How do u get two columns text in a page? Do I have to include it in
the documentclass options?

Thank you.

There are two ways. Either you use LaTeX's \twocolumn command, which will
however not balance the columns and will not allow you to switch between
one- and two-column mode on one and the same page. Or you use the
multicol package, which implements the multicols environment, which lets
you switch between one-, two-, ... , five-column mode without starting
a new page. The package is available on CTAN (ftp.tex.ac.uk).
