In formatting a dictionary, with three columns, I
\usepackage{multicol}
\setlength{\columnseprule}{0.08pt}
\begin{document}
\begin{multicols}{3}
% this part will be set in three columns, with vertical "rules"
separating the columns.
\end{multicols}
\end{document}
Note that the environment is "multicols", with an 's', while the
package that provides it is "multicol".
