Default balancing columns

When using newspaper style columns, the text will not wrap properly if there
is a blank line at the end of the text and it is included when highlight the
text to put into columns. Switch on the non printing characters ¶ and make
sure that what you want to put into columns *does not* have an extra return ¶
at the end. Hope I've explained that clearly enough!

Frustrating but must be something very simple tha tI'm not doing. There is a
heading at the beginning of the first column. Have also been to
ToolsOptionscompatibility and unticked Don't balance columns--
