Hello,
Does TDOCXReadWriteVcl support page columns, if not what should I repalce it with?

Yes, this is possible. I was just searching for the same topic.
The way I found was to add a "section change" (TAXWSEP). A section change has to be added at the end of a section or document (and is effective for the lines above).
So you have to add these lines at the end of your document (in C++ code):
Code: Select all
... // here your document code
Para = DOCX->Editor->Paras->AppendPara( "" );
{
TAXWSEP *SEP;
SEP = Para->AddSEP( DOCX->Editor->SEP , NULL , astContinous );
SEP->AddCols( 2 , 0 );
}
In Pascal code the same looks like this:
Code: Select all
var
...
SEP: TAXWSEP;
begin
... // here your document code
Para := DOCX.Editor.Paras.AppendPara( '' );
SEP := Para.AddSEP( DOCX.Editor.SEP , nil , astContinous );
SEP.AddCols( 2 , 0 );
end;
This works in docx output only. Sadly
not in preview or pdf output.

I found a much more shorter code to make the whole document multi-column:
Code: Select all
DOCX.Editor.SEP.AddCols( 2 , 20 );
First argument is the number of colums and second argument is the width of the gap between the columns (don't know in which unit).
