Melissa, As Vic says, make sure the table gridlines and its borders are disabled if you'd like it to look like columns.
I do think it looks better if you put column titles in their own first row, and then set this row as a "header" row, so that it will automatically appear at the top of the columns on page 2. If you want the start of each "pro" to align with the start of each "con" (assuming you can have items which can go over more than one line), then you may want to put each pro/con pair in its own row. If items can go over multiple lines, then I think this would look best.
