problem with tables in MS word when appyling two column format to only part of the page

[T K <tvk_tw -at- yahoo -dot- ie>]

Hi,
  I have been trying to insert a table into MS Word as follows:
  
  1. Set top half of page to two column format.
  2. Insert table. I want this table, which has a number of columns to  take advantage of the two column feature of Word so that I can have it  appearing twice, side by side. 
  3. Make table wrap around to the second column.
  3. Insert continuous section break half way down page (as I want the  bottom half of the page to be just one column format) and apply one  column format to the lower half of the page.
  
  The problem I am encountering is that the continuous section break that  denotes the end of the two column format does not seem to allow the  bottom of the right hand table to line up with the bottom of the left  hand table. The bottom of the right hand table is always either one or  two rows above the bottom of the left hand table (one row above when  there is an odd number of rows and two rows above when there is an even  number of rows). I would expect that if there is an even number of rows  then it should be straightforward to make the bottom of the right hand  table line up with the bottom of the left hand table. However, I am  unable to achieve this depsite playing around with it for ages,  referring to MS Word Help and adjusting various settings.
  
  Has anyone tried to do this before? Perhaps there is a different  approach I can use to have a table repeat in an adjacent column. Except  for this issue with the bottom of the tables not lining up, it seems  like a useful feature because it allows for the heading to  be  automatically repeated in the second instance of the table in the right  hand column. 
  
  As always, any advice is appreciated.
  
  Thanks,
  Tom.
