Yeah, I was a little confused about what the OP actually wants... or has.
First he says "...but the headings span the two columns." which indicates
that he currently has the heading as a single-column section spanning *both*
columns but wants it to stay with the body tetxt in 'column 1'. At least
that's how I took it.
Then he goes and asks about "other ways to create a spanned heading."
I guess both options have been covered :-)

If you want the heading to span two columns, you have no choice (aside
from
a text box or frame): there must be a (Continuous) section break between
the
single-column heading and the double-column text. Editing out the section
breaks is not an option.

I think the problem may be a matter of where the insertion point is when
you
create the column layout. If it is at the beginning of the body text the
heading gets left behind in the previous section. If it is at the
beginning
of the *heading* the heading will be included in the first column.
In the case of existing columns you may be able to just turn on the
non-printing characters & edit out the section breaks.

Hi,
The text in my document has a 2-column layout but the headings span the
two
columns. Because Word uses a new section for this, keep with next
doesn't
work.
Are there others ways to create a spanned heading?
