How to add a title across columns in Pages

I am trying to create a contact list for a group to which I belong. I want to do this as a regular doument, not a spreadsheet. I want two 12-point columns per page of names and addresses, with a 24-point title across the top of the first page. I can't figure out how to do this. Either my title shows up on every page, or the title is crammed into the first column on the first page. Can anyone tell me how to do it? You would think this is rather basic, but I can't make it work.

iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.2)

Judith,

In one column format, type your 24-pt title, then Insert > Layout Break.

Switch to two column format. Start your 12-pt list.

That's assuming that you don't want a title on each page.

If you do want a title on each page, use the Header field to hold the title, and forget about the Insert > Layout Break. Just use two column layout.
