# How to: Use FlowDocument Column-Separating Attributes
This example shows how to use the column-separating features of a <xref:System.Windows.Documents.FlowDocument>.  
  
## Example  
 The following example defines a <xref:System.Windows.Documents.FlowDocument>, and sets the <xref:System.Windows.Documents.FlowDocument.ColumnGap%2A>, <xref:System.Windows.Documents.FlowDocument.ColumnRuleBrush%2A>, and <xref:System.Windows.Documents.FlowDocument.ColumnRuleWidth%2A> attributes.  The <xref:System.Windows.Documents.FlowDocument> contains a single paragraph of sample content.
