How to Change a Multi Column Document to a Single Column Document in Google Docs
The steps in this article were performed in the desktop version of the Google Chrome Web browser, but will work in other desktop browsers like Firefox or Edge, too. Step 1: Sign into your Google Drive and open the document. Step 2: Select the Format tab at the top of the window. Step 3: Choose the Columns option, then click the single column option at the left. Note that if your document has multiple sections with different numbers of columns, then you will need to click inside the section with the multiple columns before completing the steps above. Be sure to check over the document after changing the number of columns, as some document objects might be moved or affected by this adjustment.
