Can I keep columns from breaking across pages?

In Microsoft Word 2007, if I put a passage of text into a column layout that spans two pages, Word first puts everything that fits on the first page into a column layout on the first page, then the rest into a column layout on the second page. I want to prevent this breaking.

The question is difficult to phrase, so here's an example of what I want to accomplish:

Instead of

a c e
b d f
-----
g j m
h k n
i l o

I want the columns to be preserved across the page break, like so:

a f k
b g l
-----
c h m
d i n
e j o

Is this possible in Microsoft Word 2007?
