--- Comment #19 from Mike Kaganski <mikekaganski at hotmail.com> ---
Consider also the two different modes in Word:

1. Making whole document two-columnar (new doc; set layout to 2-column, and
choose "Whole document" in "Apply to:"). Irrespective of "Equal column width"
setting, it will fill first column before moving to the second.
2. Making a section starting mid-page to be two-column: create three paragraphs
first, then select the second one, and format its layout two-column. Then this
will always (?) be evenly distributed.

I don't see an easy way to interoperate with Word in absence of the feature in
it (?) without hacks like in comment 17. My personal favorite would be
"NOTOURBUG" + advise to use PDF for interchange when one needs layout
correctness (just IMO; I realize different needs and scenarios - but one must
realize that e.g. it's impossible to keep everything exporting to, say, plain
text; here it's similar, just limited to a subset of functionality).
