Hmmm. You're correct. It slipped by me. However, the default is still one 
column. How can you get 2 columns by using the default values? Just trying to 
figure out how he got into his predicament. 

Sounds like he has 2 separate text frames ("...see 2 columns with red 
outlines") and both of them are selected. If so, then text will only be able 
to be imported into the first selected frame (in this case, the first 
column).
