No. And even if you could, it would be a stupid thing to do.

Columns of text make sense for newspapers and magazines, where you can see
the whole page in front of you at once; but what makes sense in print
media doesn't always make sense on the web!

On the web, if you have columns of text, you need to scroll (arrow
buttons, mouse wheel, scroll bar, whatever) all the way to the bottom as
you read the first column, then right back to the top to start the second
columns. Silly.
