How does one go about creating columns in a text page in the bootstrap template, as illustrated at www.nottingham.ac.uk/toolkits/play_8222#page4section5 ?

At the moment there isn't a wizard for that but you can switch to source view in a text box, add relevant Bootstrap code then click the 'show blocks' button in the toolbar so that you can edit content in the wysiwyg view but still see where the divs start and end etc.

Try copying and pasting the following in source view then follow the steps I listed above.
<div class="row-fluid">&nbsp;
  <div class="span3">
    <br />

I've used columns on this bootstrap page: xerte.cardiff.ac.uk/play_4069

I just used the <article></article> tags. You can then use the columns property to define the number and size of your columns. For example:
article {
	-webkit-columns: 3 250px;
	-moz-columns: 3 250px;
	columns: 3 250px;
}

Your HTML would then simply be:
<article>
...your text here...
</article>

The good thing about this it that it's responsive.

Here is a useful overview: css-tricks.com/guide-responsive-friendly-css-columns/
