Making tables break across columns but NOT break across pages

I have a Word document formatted for two colums per page. I have
multiple tables, some of which are longer than a single column. I want
the tables to continue on (i.e. break) into the second column so that I
can fit the max number of tables on a page.

However, I do NOT want the table to continue on to the next page. Any
one table needs to be visible on a single page at all times.

I understand that under "Tables" --> "Layout" --> "Properties" -->
"Row" I can clear (uncheck) "Allow Row to Break Across Pages." That
solves the second problem but by doing so it also prevents the row from
breaking into the second column on the same page. In other words, that
actions treats a column break the same as a page break.

Can anyone help?
