DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
PageSetup pageSetup = builder.PageSetup;

TextColumnCollection columns = pageSetup.TextColumns;
columns.EvenlySpaced = false;
columns.SetCount(2);

// Determine the amount of room that we have available for arranging columns.
double contentWidth = pageSetup.PageWidth - pageSetup.LeftMargin - pageSetup.RightMargin;

Assert.AreEqual(470.30d, contentWidth, 0.01d);

// Set the first column to be narrow.
TextColumn column = columns[0];
column.Width = 100;
column.SpaceAfter = 20;

// Set the second column to take the rest of the space available within the margins of the page.
column = columns[1];
column.Width = contentWidth - column.Width - column.SpaceAfter;

builder.Writeln("Narrow column 1.");
builder.InsertBreak(BreakType.ColumnBreak);
builder.Writeln("Wide column 2.");

doc.Save(ArtifactsDir + "PageSetup.CustomColumnWidth.docx");
