Default how do I create 2 columns to copy identical text

I am making a list of officers on one side of the page and need to copy this
identical text to a 2nd column and when I do this it keeps wanting to wrap
and I am missing parts of my words. Did I do the wrong "column" thing?

This can be done with snaking columns, but you could also do it with a
two-column table.

Hi lindajk,

You might need to insert a column break at the foot of your first column.

Alternatively, you could use a two-column table.

In either case, if you bokkmark the first list, you can then replicate it by inserting a cross-reference to the bookmark.
