How to prevent content from flowing in second column

Hi there,

I have the following issue.

I have a 2-column layout.
The content does not fully fit on one page. I have a few lines on the next page.
These few line are spread evenly over the 2 columns.
After these few columns, a new page starts.
So I end up with an almost empty page, 2 lines on the left and 1 on the right.

Is there any way to prevent this behaviour? I would like the content to stay in the left column, but it probably wont do so because there is a page break just beneath the content.

Thanks for a response!

Please try place your contents into table rows, and specify 'keep with next column' flags for very problematic line.

Hi there,

Thanks for the response.

I seem not to to be able to be using tables, since I also need "span="all"" for some tables that then have to be nested in the table you suggest. And span="all" only works on fo:blocks that are a direct descendant of fo:flow. When I use a table this messes up the simple sequence of fo-blocks. In any case, I have not been able to use a table that flows in 2 columns, contains both text and tables, with the tables having a span="all". The tables will use the two columns, but the text in the second column will flow right through the table.

Any ideas on this?

It seems your text has column break. Can you send us your layout?
