What you are describing sound exactly like the behavior of the "Balance 
columns" feature. Do you have that option selected in the Column Setup dialog?

> Subject: Text Breaks Before End of Column
> 
> Strangest behavior I have seen in a while:
> 
> Using FM 10 in a Windows 7 environment.
> 
> I am working in a large format: 22" W by 13" H. The landscape page layout has 
> three columns of equal width.
> 
> I imported paragraph and character formats from an 8.5 x 11" document. I then 
> copied and pasted two pages of text, no graphics, from the same 8.5 x 11" 
> original into the landscape page.
> 
> The text poured into all three columns, but it broke at 8" into each column, 
> leaving the bottom 5 inches of each column empty. I managed to get some of 
> the text at the top of the second column to backfill the bottom of the first 
> column: I put the cursor at the beginning of the second column and hit 
> Backspace. About 10 lines of text moved to the previous column, but there's 
> still room and I can't get any more of the text at the top of the second 
> column to move back:
> 
> ---I've checked the "Keep with Next" and "Keep with Previous" settings; 
> they're not checked for anything.
> 
> ---The "Start" setting is set to "Anywhere."
> 
> ---Widow/orphan is set to 2 lines
> 
> ---I didn't import the page layouts from the 8.5 x 11" original. 
> 
> What on earth is telling the text to break?
> 
> Thanks for any and all suggestions, and happy Friday!
