I'd like to place a tagline on the right-hand side of my resume's
header, with my name and job title on the left:
Michael David Crawford Every Day We Do Our Part To Make Your Face
Consulting Software Engineer A Work
Of Art: Burma-Shave
I know how to format an entire page an entire column, but no joy
results from trying to format just the header as multiple columns.
Note that the left-hand column is left-justified, the other right-justified.

Just one tab on each line of my tagline works. Because OOo regards
each such line as a separate paragraph, I can set the tab positions
separately for each one.
Your lines are separate paragraphs only if you make them separate
paragraphs! OpenOffice regards them as what they are. If you separate
them by line breaks (Shift+Enter) instead, they will all be part of a
single paragraph.
Why do you want to set the tabs differently for different lines?
Despite the partial lines being different lengths, if you want the
text in the right column to be right-aligned, you need simply to set
a *right* tab at the right margin. Then your single tab character
between the two parts of each line will align the right-hand parts
correctly. Indeed, if I insert a header or footer into a document, it
comes with a default centre tab at the centre of the page width and a
default right tab at the right margin. All you need to do to achieve
what you ask is either to enter two tab characters between each half
of each line or (probably better) to delete the centre tab (by
dragging it off the horizontal ruler) and then use just a single tab
character between the parts of the text.
But to return to your original question (though you probably don't
now need this), the way you can set up columns in a header or footer
is the same as you would use for any other region other than complete
pages. Insert a section, which has its own columns property. In a
two-column section in your header, you can have the text in the
columns separately left- and right-aligned - as you originally sought.
I trust this helps.
