How do I fix detail size?

Hi, I am trying to put together a checklist board that will have two sections
- one showing real world and one showing exercise checklists. The checklists
should then be listed down then across on two columns, so it will look
something like this:

REAL WORLD
101 220
110 501
120 602

EXERCISE
110 220
125 501
130 601

I've been able to basically get it to look right with grouping and column
settings, except that I would like it to list the checklists down before
going across. When I do that, however, it just keeps expanding the detail
down the page until it runs out of room before starting the next column.
Instead, I would like to set it up where the real world section will only go
down half the page before moving over to the next column, so then the
Exercise section can take up the bottom half. So how to I keep the detail
section size fixed? When I try to just resize the detail section, it just
changes how much space is in between each record, instead of setting how big
the list of records is allowed to get before going to the next column.

Set the subreport control's CanGrow property to No and make
it half a page tall.
