     Why aren't you using page styles? Create a page style (Style A)
that has two columns for the first page of your chapter and another page
style for the rest of the chapter (Style B). When you create Style A,
you list Style B as the page style to follow Style A. You also select
Style B to follow Style B. At the end of each chapter, do a page break
selecting Style A as the next page style.
