I have a long table in my book that I set up using \being{multicols}{2}
and \end{multicols}. It results in 'newspaper' style columns where text
flows from the bottom of the left column to the top of the right column.
Perhaps what you want is the 'block' style of columns, were a short phrase
on the left is matched with a longer text on the right column. What I've
done for this is to use the 'description' style. To keep together all the
text on the left side, use ctrl-space (a non-breaking space).
