LOWriter; Putting lists into their own columns?

[captlibre80]

Greetings

I dont know if I am saying this correctly or not?

1. I have many separate lists in my document that I wish to put into columns to save space but also make easier to read.
2. I looked into tables and this does not seem easy
3. I looked into this:

Using Sections for Columns

Sections are ideal for applying columns to a specific portion of text (like a list) without affecting the whole page or document.

1. Select the text you want to format (or place your cursor at the start).
2. Go to Insert > Section.
3. In the Insert Section dialog, switch to the Columns tab.
4. Set the number of columns, widths, spacing, and any separator line options.
5. Optionally, check Evenly distribute contents to all columns to balance the text flow.
6. Click Insert. This wraps your selected text in a section with the column layout.
7. To edit later: Right-click inside the section, choose Edit Section, and adjust the Columns tab.

Sections encapsulate the formatting, making it easier to manage and reuse without applying it directly to the text itself.

If your document has varying layouts, combine these: Use a page style for the overall document and sections for exceptions. Always preview changes in the dialog’s preview pane for accuracy.

4. Is this the proper way to do it to avoid DF direct formatting problems?
5. Is this method ideal to use for “chapter summaries” at the begining of each chapter also that I have in a table now?
6. According to the above snipept document the answer to 4 above is YES. Is this true or not ?

Thanks
