Multiple Columns Not Wrapping

I want to create a report with two columns with a single group heading with
one table. I will use this as a subreport in a larger report consisting of
single column tables. When I layout the report it shows two columns but when
I preview the report it is just one long half-size column and never wraps to
the second column (and the same thing happens when I put it in the larger
report).
Is there some setting I'm missing to get a multi-column table/report? Is
there another setting to make the multicolumns wrap in the smallest possible
vertical space?
Thanks for any tips.Multi-column reports only render as such on paper (when you actually print
the report), and also in PDF and TIFF export formats. All other render modes
(including the Report Viewer on screen) will appear as a single column.

on the report, but doesn't contain anything at design time. Make sure your
whole report (columns 1 & 2) doesn't exceed your page width.
