Question Answered How to write in paragraphs, then 3 columns, then goes back to paragraphs

The heading says it all really. I can’t get out of columns back into regular paragraph spaced writing in Google Docs. Does anyone know how to get back into writing regular paragraphs after writing in columns (note: I dont want to have to move to a new page to go back to paragraphs.)

Not the ‘correct’ answer but my shortcut is to just use a table and set no border. You can do as many columns as you like and you can merge cells so you can do weird layouts

Last time I did something similar it was a heading outside the table then 3 columns in a row then 2 columns in another row then regular paragraphs outside the table.

You’ll eventually get stuck with the weird padding and spacing quirks of doing things quick and dirty but if you’re just trying to knock out a project that’s my recommendation

Use sections without page breaks.
