## set_count(new_count) {#int}

Arranges text into the specified number of text columns.


```python
def set_count(self, new_count: int):
    ...
```

| Parameter | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| new_count | int | The number of columns the text is to be arranged into. |

### Remarks

When [TextColumnCollection.evenly_spaced](../evenly_spaced/) is ``False`` and you increase the number of columns,
new [TextColumn](../../textcolumn/) objects are created with zero width and spacing.
You need to set width and spacing for the new columns.




### Examples

Shows how to create multiple evenly spaced columns in a section.

```python
doc = aw.Document()
builder = aw.DocumentBuilder(doc=doc)
columns = builder.page_setup.text_columns
columns.spacing = 100
columns.set_count(2)
builder.writeln('Column 1.')
builder.insert_break(aw.BreakType.COLUMN_BREAK)
builder.writeln('Column 2.')
doc.save(file_name=ARTIFACTS_DIR + 'PageSetup.ColumnsSameWidth.docx')
```
