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".
