If there is text above and below the selected text, Word takes care of
inserting the two Continuous breaks. There is, however, a Compatibility
Option that affects whether columns above a Continuous break are balanced.

Under the Format menu, select Columns and choose 2 columns. That

The clever bit is to get the columns of equal length. In Word97 that
