Wrap Text Into Columns
Arrange text into two, three or four plain-text columns with configurable gaps and space or tab separators.
About the Wrap Text Into Columns
Split words across two, three or four columns and wrap each column at a fixed target of 40 characters. Choose the gap and a space or tab separator. Words longer than the target remain intact. Columns receive similar word counts, so their rendered heights may differ. Use a monospace font when pasting the layout.

Frequently asked questions
How does text flow into columns?
Text fills the first column from top to bottom, then continues to the next column. This is the standard newspaper-style column flow.
What is the maximum number of columns?
You can choose 2, 3, or 4 columns. More columns work best with wider text or narrower line widths.
