    You can’t specify the number of columns explicitly; you will need to adjust the width and gap properties to meet your needs.

    Legend:

    • PW: page width
    • M: page margin
    • C: # of columns
    • CW: column width
    • G: gap between columns

    Use this formula as a guide:

    PW = 2M + C*CW + (C-1)*G

    Substituting your values:

    3 * 2.5" + 2 * 0.5" = 8.5"

    You haven’t factored the margins in your calculation. You can fix this by:

    • setting your margins to 0 (not a good idea)
    • decreasing your column size
    • decreasing your gap size
    • any combination of these
