Limiting detail rows per column 1

[bdway]

I currently have a large number of detail rows and I have them displaying in columns.

1 7
2 8
3 9
4 10
5 11
6 12

Currently the first column keeps growing until it hits the bottom of the page before spilling into column two. Is there a way to limit the number of rows per column so that I could end up with four values in 3 columns?

1 5 9
2 6 10
3 7 11
4 8 12

On the Layout tab of the detail section properties the width field is set to 2" and height field is greyed out and won't let me enter a value. Am I looking in the wrong place? I'm on Crystal 8.0.

Thanks for any help!

One nice easy way to control how many records print in a column is to expand the size of the page footer. The Page Footer will start further up the page leaving less room for the details section.
