Hi List- I am relatively new to FO. I am trying to
create a 2-column page with text that wraps into the
next column at a position on the page. I can see it is
possible by putting a leader in as shown in one of the
Apache FOP examples, however I need to "balance" the
text in the columns.

do you mean;

<fo:block span="all"><fo:leader/></fo:block>

Imagine that each column's text
would then "touch" the bottom border. I would try
this with tables but then I would have to know exactly
where to break the text. Here's some ASCII art of what
I need:
|---------------------------|
|Title1         |           |
|paragraph text1|t1 continue|
|text1 text1 tex|d from prev|
|t1 text1 text1 |ious column|
|text1 text1 tex|balanced.  |
|               |           |
|Title2         |           |
|paragraph text2|t2 continue|
|text2 text2 tex|d+balance. |
|---------------------------|

Column balancing isnt implemented properly in FOP 0.20.5 I'm afraid. You can experiment by adding some white space after the first lot of text.
