Text Wrap on Columns

[casbboy]

I am creating a PHP that would output body text into a two column table. What I was wondering was whether there was a way to put a type of word wrap on the table. So, once a certain number of lines are put in the rest of the text will begin to appear at the top of the second column.

I need to know this because my page is PHP and will be loading the text from a database which means the text amounts will vary.

Is there a way to accomplish this?

Thanks
