Default balancing columns

Press the ¶ button on the Standard toolbar to display nonprinting
marks. Perhaps the column has empty paragraphs (¶) which make it look
as if it isn't balancing correctly? If you find any, delete them. Does
that help?

I'm having trouble balancing columns. Have tried Help and inserted a
continuous break at the end of the columns but nothing is happening.
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--
