Hi,

you could use, for example, the background package in combination with PGF/TikZ:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{report}
\usepackage{multicol}
\usepackage{background}
\usepackage{lipsum} % just to generate some text

\SetBgAngle{0}
\SetBgScale{8}
\SetBgContents{%
  \begin{tikzpicture}
    \matrix [column sep =0.4cm,ampersand replacement=\&]
      { \node [rotate=90] {First column}; \& \node [rotate=90] {Second column};\\};
  \end{tikzpicture}}

\setlength\columnsep{18pt}

\begin{document}

\begin{multicols}{2}
  \lipsum[1-40]
\end{multicols}

\end{document}

You must compile the example code twice.
