It was suggested that I explain what I did. The graphic's and paragraphs 
I just did a copy and paste. Adjusted the size and location of the 
graphics as necessary.  For the columns I had to press enter a few times 
past the intended insertion point for the columns. This was the main 
key. Otherwise I got stuck in the columns and could not get out to add 
more. I copied the columns into LO using "edit - paste special - 
unformatted text". This gave me a single column. I then highlighted the 
 column and did a "Format - Columns" and chose 2. This gave me 2 even 
columns which I could edit. I then clicked under the column in one of 
the places I had previously clicked to get out of it.

Thanks again for everyones help.
