Not true at all.  Any frame can have from 1 to 8 columns.  Columns
serve as "containers" to pour text into, and can be added/removed
without fuss.

Frames are the fundamental units that make up a Ventura page.  Each
frame can hold text or graphics.  Although basic frames are
rectangular, you can overlap frames of different sizes to produce all
sorts of frame shapes.  Text flows around overlapping frames
automatically.  Any/all parameters of a frame, including number of
columns, can be changed at any time.
