[libreoffice-users] Multiple columns in Writer

I would like to divide my page into two independently controlled 
columns.  Creating columns is easy enough to do.  However, I want the 
text in each column to start at the top of each column.  Think of two 
lists that are independent of each other, column 2 is NOT simply a 
continuation of column 1.  Two different teams of players for example.  
A list of red parts, and blue parts.  Whatever.

I know that I can hit enter 30 times or so in the first column in order 
to start the text at the top of the second column, but I was hoping 
there was a smarter way, such that (for example) I can simply place my 
cursor in column 2 and start typing at the top, without needing to have 
anything in column 1.


Example:

Column 1     Column 2
-------------   -----------------
xyz                   123

Simple in concept... not so simple to make happen in Writer.

Thank you in advance.
