After choosing "Book fold" in Page Setup, you should still be able to select
two columns. If you're mail merging, use a "Catalog" or "Directory" merge,
and don't try to put anything on the page except the merge fields. You'll
need to add titles, column headings, etc., after merging (except for
anything that can be put in the header or footer).
