Getting rid of columns in the text
I'm putting together a text document of study material for work. I copied it from a PDF onto OOWriter to edit it. Sometimes it copies onto the full page fine. Other times the page is divided into columns within the page. How can I format the page to get rid of the columns?

- An example of how the page is divided the columns are functioning as two separate pages.

Re: Getting rid of columns in the text
My suggestion is to not bother trying to "fix" your copied text, but to start over with a new document.
I'm going to guess that you highlighted the text in the PDF, pressed Ctrl+C (to copy), then Ctrl+V (to paste).... If so, change the last step to Ctrl+Shift+V (Paste special) and select Unformatted Text from the options that you will be given.
