There is the ability to automatically create frames whenever you start a 
new document, and you specify the number of columns. This is in the New 
Document dialog. By default this frame fills in the space between the 
margins of the page.

Afterward, if you insert a new page, it will also have this automatic 
text frame, and will automatically link text from the previous page.
