To balance the columns, insert a continuous section break at the end of
the
text (Page Layout tab | Breaks | Continuous). FWIW, this behavior has not
changed from previous versions of Word.

In Word 2007 how do I create two (or more) columns that are always of
equal
length in ? I used to be able to do this in Word 2003.
When I create two columns now and fill the first column with text it
flows
over to the second column and looks like this:
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Whereas I'm trying to make it look like this without manually inserting
a
column break:
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
