Page overflow control

Is it possible to control where overflow text goes ( with a script or otherwise)?
I’d like to create something like newspaper columns, whereby when my table overflows, instead to starting a new page, it moves right on the same page and starts a new column.

I think this has been requested before, though it’s not supported currently.

There are already multi-column CSS properties, but they seem to be ignored in Connect.

Connect Designer does support the multi-column property, but it requires the -moz prefix. Consider the following:

-moz-column-count: 2;
-moz-column-gap: 10mm;
-moz-column-rule: 1px solid black;

Back to the original question. There is no easy way to control where overflowing text need to go (assuming you want to jump from one box to another).
