At the point you wish to change to two columns, Insert > Columns and then in the Layout Inspector, select the number of columns. After the insertion point, you will also need to insert another Column Change to return the following paragraphs to single column.
Then Select the text to be bulleted and in the Text Inspector > List tab select the type of bullets.
Note: This creates two columns that flow together. This can be tricky if you add any text later.
If you wish to ensure alignment, create a two column text table and remove the lines with the Graphic Inspector > Lines > No Lines option and insert your text in each column and apply the bullets as above.
This will create a text box - you then need to ensure it moves with the text by electing "Object Moves With Text" in the Wrpa Inspector.

I'm sorry that we don't have the benefit of knowing your country or any other details that would help us to communicate. I see that this is your first day on the discussions; so, welcome.
There is a learning curve with respect to asking questions in a way that facilitates answers that are to the point and helpful. A more complete description of how you want your document to look would be a good start.

Thank you bwfromspring hill!! I figured out how to insert the two columns... and now I can't figure out how to go back to having no columns... I'm a teacher looking for a new job and I'm 'fixin' my resume. The following link shows what I'm trying to do... the line, two columns with bullets (which I figured out) and then back to a line and more text... http://resumes-for-teachers.com/samples/PDF/Special-Education-Teacher-Resume.pdf
Thanks for the help!

This worked perfectly... BUT, the left column is hendering me from closing the gap between the next paragraph and my seperating line. Any suggestions?
THANK YOU!
I'm not sure what you mean by that. Could you post a screen shot?

Hi Rom,
I suppose it would be the same way you would set multiple columns in any document. Use the Layout Inspector, Layout tab, Columns: (#). That is, unless I miss the point of your question.

Thank you for your help... but, what I'm trying to do is input two columns in a regular document... ie. my resume.
Thank you Jerrold Green1... please see my previous response and hyperlink. I appreciate your assistance and welcome!
When changing the number of columns, you Insert > Layout Break to isolate the parts of your document, which will limit the range of the column specification.
