Columns are widely used to set page layout, for which could split text into two or more columns so that the text could flow from one column to the next on the same page. Using Spire.Doc, we could achieve this feature and add a line between columns at the same time. This article is going to introduce how to split text into two columns and add line between them.
Note: please download the latest version of Spire.Doc and add Spire.Doc .dll as reference of Visual Studio.
Step 1: Create a new document and load from file
Document document = new Document();
document.LoadFromFile("S.docx");
Step 2: Add a column to section one, set the width of columns and the spacing between columns. Here we set width as 100f and spacing as 20f.
document.Sections[0].AddColumn(100f, 20f);
Step 3: Add a line between the two columns
document.Sections[0].PageSetup.ColumnsLineBetween = true;
Step 4: Save the document and launch to see effects
document.SaveToFile("result.docx",FileFormat.docx2013);
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("result.docx");
Before adding the columns:

document.LoadFromFile("S.docx");
document.Sections[0].AddColumn(100f, 20f);
document.Sections[0].PageSetup.ColumnsLineBetween = true;
document.SaveToFile("result.docx",FileFormat.docx2013);
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("result.docx");
}
