To get the three columns to be of equal length, insert an invisible
graphic that is three columns wide at the bottom of the page, then
stretch it until the column length equalizes:

In page view, put the curser after the third column of text and
select INSERT GRAPHICS.  Click to the left of the vertical bar to
show the empty graphics box.

Select POSITION, then position the graphics box to be 8 in wide, and
BOTTOM relative to the margin.

In page view select the graphics box, and stretch it vertically.  With each
stretch, there is less room for the text, so text flows from each column
to the next.  Keep stretching until the columns are equal.


If you know ahead of time what needs to be in each column, you can
instead select one column of data at a time, do a KEEP TOGETHER,
and position at the top of the column.
