I have several documents I created with three columns of text. Over time, maybe years, I am now going back to these documents to make some slight formatting changes. But when I open the document the number of columns in “Layout; Columns” shows 1, but I have 3 columns displayed. Changing the count to 3 I get 9 columns displayed! Since I want to change the column spacing I am at a standstill. My only solution has been to copy the document and paste it into a new document with the correct formatting. Any solution on how to get the number of columns displayed to match the count in the dialog boxes?
What version of LibreOffice and operating system? Click Help > About LibreOffice then, in the dialogue, click the icon immediately after Version Information to copy to clipboard ready to paste here.

Can you provide a sample single document showing the issue? Cheers, Al
Mote that you can set columns in different places. E.g., you may define them as a property of a page style; or a property of a section. The latter method allows you to have different number of columns in different parts even on a single page.
