Use 2 columns in Detail Section of report

I want to reduce the size of the product list in this report by spreading the items over 2 columns in the Details section.
View attachment 1585

Page Set-up has an option for 2 columns but this would apply it to the whole report, so the advice is to use a subreport for the Details section and make this 2 columns.

So far I haven't been able to stop it filling just one of the columns so how do I initiate using both. I've tried both options for Down/Across and Across/Down.
 
Across and then down should work in a subreport to create multiple columns. What is the width of the subreport as well as the subreport control on the main report.

Since the details are now in the subreport, did you remove this table from the recordsource of the main report?
