BASED ON OP COMMENT:

What you need to do is:

1. Add the fields to the report (if you are planning 2 columns, use only yhe left half of the report, 3 columns only left third, and so forth).

2. Right click details and select section expert.

3. Check Format with Multiple Columns, this should show the Layout tab next to Color tab.

4. For your example, under Layout tab, Change Printing Direction from Down then across to across then Down. Change Detail size to half of the Report width.

That should be it.
