OpenOffice - How to "columnize" a printout in Spreadsheet?


In MS Word, and probably in OO Word Processor, it is possible to format your pages to print in columns, much like a newspaper. I would like to know if it's possible to do such a thing in Spreadsheet. I have 2 short columns of data in a table, and when I print them, it comes to 9 pages. These columns don't take up half the width of the page, so I could easily fit another range of columns on the right side to save paper. Is this possible? Please note that I don't want to resize the text, or reformat the actual table to achieve this.

The only thing I can find in the OpenOffice.org Calc help files that might have anything to do with what you want to accomplish is "colum breaks - inserting" (vertical page breaks). I haven't tried it, so I can say that it will or won't work.
