How to Split Text into Columns on Websites
Splitting text into columns helps you read more comfortably by breaking up wide paragraphs into narrower sections, similar to how newspapers organize content.
Step 1: Open Helperbird
Click the Helperbird owl icon in your browser toolbar to open the main dashboard.
Step 2: Go to Reading Options
In the list of tools, find Reading Options and click the open icon next to it.
Step 3: Adjust Paragraph Columns
In the Reading Options panel:
- Go to the Border tab.
- Toggle Paragraph Columns on.
- Use the slider to choose how many columns you want—slide left for fewer columns or right for more.
Tip: Two or three columns work great for wide screens, while one column is perfect for smaller displays or focused reading.
