How do you make columns equal height?
How do you make columns equal height? There is an option for width, but apparently not for height.

Ensure that you select Equal Column Width in the Pages Layout panel. Select just the text that you want in columns and increment the column count. This produces two identical columns with the same height, but owing to sentence/paragraph behavior, the first line of the second column may be a blank line giving the columns an unbalanced view. Here is an example:
The above text is 13 pt EB Garamond. By increasing it to 14 pt, or potentially changing the font entirely, that "The first story…" sentence now appears at the top of the second column. Line spacing won't help much at all here and just increases the height of the two columns.
