We can manage text in multiple columns by applying CSS3’s property. The properties are:-

column-count: It Adjust all text in three column.
column-gap: It define padding between columns
column-rule: It define a border between columns. and properties will be like border

These property using with prefixes vendor -webkit- and -moz- All related properties are:-

-moz-column-count: 3; 
-moz-column-gap: 20px; 
-webkit-column-count: 3;
-webkit-column-gap : 20px; 
-moz-column-rule-color: #ccc; 
-moz-column-rule-style: solid; 
-moz-column-rule-width: 1px; 
-webkit-column-rule-color: #ccc; 
-webkit-column-rule-style: solid ; 
-webkit-column-rule-width: 1px;

you can use “rule” in one line like border-properties:

-webkit-column-rule: 1px solid #ccc;

Here I am giving you an example for adjust all text content in 3 column.

CSS

.three-col { 
	-moz-column-count: 3; 
	-moz-column-gap: 20px; 
	-webkit-column-count: 3; 
	-webkit-column-gap: 20px; 
}

Here can be used text-align:justify; to justify all text content in every column.

.three-col { 
-moz-column-count: 3; 
-moz-column-gap: 20px; 
-webkit-column-count: 3; 
-webkit-column-gap: 20px; 
text-align:justify;
}

HTML

Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry.
