Well, since AutoText can store "anything", I think you are right.
Like you, I haven't tested, because I don't think it would be worth
the trouble. Anyway, the basic idea of my previous message remains
true: As an AutoText entry, the section formatting would be stored as
content, not as a style.

I haven't tried it. But it might be possible to store a columnar
setup with
the section break as an AutoText entry. Even if possible, though, I
don't
know that this is a good idea, that section mark could carry all
sorts of
other information that might not be wanted, like headers and
footers. I
guess I would write a vba procedure for it and set that to a
keyboard
shortcut or on a custom menu. When I want columns, I just use the
column
button on my formatting toolbar.

Jezebel has given you the answer. I'd just like to emphasize that
the
only way to *store* columns in a document (or template) is by
formatting part or all of it to have columns; there are no "page
styles" available in Word (unfortunately).
