Is it possible to insert a column break in table text?

I have a bullet list--a Purchase Order checklist.

Each list item is fairly short, so I designed the checklist with a two column format.

I have implemented this in my LiveCycle form by breaking the checklist into two blocks of source text, each mapped to a table cell.

However, my customer is unhappy with the idea of their text being broken into two pieces as it will display in their web UI as two pieces and they think this will be confusing. (Customers. Go figure.)

Is there a character I can insert in the text to force a break so the text will flow to the next column in the table? I tried using a conditional break but that did not work as I can only specify content areas, not fields.

Thanks,

Janet
