[AccessD] No column-wrapping on 2-column reports ?

Hello all!

I have an Access report that has been formatted with 2 columns.

Each record has about 10 fields that take up maybe 3 vertical inches of space.  Some of the fields have CanGrow set to true, which means that some records are very "short" in a vertical sense, and others are "tall".

Here's my problem; records do not appear to be wrapping from one column to another.  This is not a problem on pages with a bunch of "short" records, but it is on pages that have (for example) one "short" record and one "tall" record.  Instead of starting below the short record and wrapping from the bottom of the left-hand column to the top of the right-hand column, the "tall" record just starts at the top of the right-hand column, leaving a lot of space under the "short" record in the left-hand column.

Is anyone aware of a way to make records wrap from one column to the other?
