Are you in Print Layout view? You'll see only one column in Normal view.

No, the Index is much longer than one page, but at the moment, it is one
long
column spreading over about 5 pages.

Is a Continuous Section Break what I need? I will try it.

I have the Index format set to make a 2 column index, but the Index
list
at
the end keeps turning up in only one column.

What have I done wrong?

Thank you
