Either omit the final Continous section break or check the Compatibility
Option "Don't balance columns for Continuous section starts."

I have several pages of tables in 3 columns of equal length on all pages.
On
the last page, I don't want the columns to be equal in length, but want to
break them at specific points, leaving a short column as the 3rd column.
How
do I do that?
