Here is a small example of how you can achieve it:
   
  \documentclass{article}
  %
  \usepackage[a4paper,landscape]{geometry}
  \usepackage{multicol}

  \begin{document}
  \begin{multicols}{2}

  Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Curabitur id
  est tincidunt nisl pellentesque tincidunt. Donec in mauris. Mauris neque
  magna, consectetuer id, malesuada vitae, tincidunt sit amet, mi. Aliquam
  lacinia. Suspendisse potenti. Proin justo lorem, rutrum ac, facilisis
  in, malesuada sed, ligula. Mauris lobortis lacus at nibh. Aenean vitae
  odio vel odio placerat hendrerit. Suspendisse lacus lacus, tempor id,
  pharetra eget, ornare sit amet, pede. Sed aliquet, justo ac elementum
  pretium, arcu leo placerat est, a luctus purus diam eget arcu. Nam augue
  diam, mollis a, scelerisque eget, aliquet condimentum, pede. Vestibulum
  tristique lectus sed augue.

  Aenean ut mauris luctus mauris interdum convallis. Nunc vestibulum
  sodales nulla. Nulla vitae massa. Maecenas vel tellus vitae elit mattis
  adipiscing. In pulvinar felis sed est. Mauris non mi. Duis ultrices
  dolor ut orci. Quisque lacinia arcu et purus. Sed euismod metus nec
  augue. Cum sociis natoque penatibus et magnis dis parturient montes,
  nascetur ridiculus mus. Nunc dolor leo, aliquam a, placerat sit amet,
  accumsan eget, dolor. Sed lacinia augue in magna. Fusce sed enim.
  Vestibulum et mauris. Phasellus in lectus. Pellentesque eu elit in dolor
  ullamcorper sodales. Vestibulum interdum ornare ligula. Mauris felis
  odio, rhoncus sed, adipiscing fermentum, tincidunt eu, metus.
  Suspendisse viverra rhoncus purus.

  \end{multicols}

  \end{document}

Just run it through (pdf)latex.
