Quick guide:
1. Paper format: A4, Landscape
2. Layout, Columns: 2
3. Insert Frame
4. Select Frame
5. Click with right button
6. choose Layout or something
7. Do stuff, until entire column is filled.
8. Repeat 3-7 in other column.
Good luck.
Kind regards cq. De groeten,

Wow, when I skimmed this the first time, I thought that
"Word 6" was some sort of introspection rundown or
something.

You can draw boxes around frames (text boxes).
If you want a drop cap, try making that a picture too. Make it the
Algerian font you were thinking of, and do the text in the frames as
bog-standard Times New Roman.

Have you thought about clarifying the reference to "propellors on DC-8s?"
Many people realize -- even if Hubbard didn't -- that the DC-8 is powered
by turbojet engines. When I first heard about the fable, I was confused.
I thought LRH must have meant DC7 or earlier aircraft. Only once I *heard*
him talking about it (thanks to you), did I realize that he probably didn't
know the difference.
Oh, one could give him the generous benefit of the doubt and imagine that
when he says "... the DC-8 had *fans* -- propellors on it, and the
space-plane didn't" he might have been speaking of the "high-bypass fanjet"
engines that came into wide use in later years, and which were retro-fitted
to many earlier aircraft. I wouldn't attribute to him quite that
prescience though.<sardonic smirk>

US Legal (8-1/2 x 14) size might be a good idea. Is there a metric"legal
size?" When I printed it on Letter size, it came to about 10 lines beyond
two pages.

No. The sizes are
210mm ( 8.3 inches) a bit shorter than 8.5 inches
by
297mm (11.7 inches) a bit longer than 11.0 inches.
A page layout which fits comfortably within 8.3"x11"
would print on both of course.
The metric sizes are determined so that half the height is
in the same proportion to the width as the width is to the
full height---i.e. you can fold and tear a sheet in half
to get two sheets the same shape but smaller. A1 is a
square metre in area. Cut an A1 sheet in half along its
longest side and you get A2. Etecetera.
