Here is my situation:

I have two columns containing some text. Above those columns, I have a heading (which is not a part of the columns, since it spans the entire page width.)

I am trying to force the heading to always be on the same page as the columns below. Normally I would use the "Keep with next" paragraph formatting option. However, my columns are automatically surrounded by section breaks, and the "keep with next" doesn't seem to work across multiple sections.

Does anyone know a way to get around this? Thanks!

Repeat a table heading on subsequent pages

EDIT:
Alternatively, if you're not using tables, could you make the heading part of the page header? You can toggle whether headers repeat from section to section. This might give you the flexibility you need.

I'm actually not using tables. I don't think page headers would work, because I will be adding a lot of information to this document in the future and I don't necessarily know that a certain section is always going to be at the top of the page.

In the meantime, I'm working around this by using text-wrapping around images instead of columns (one side of my columns is always an image). But I would really prefer to use columns if anyone knows how to make that work.

Use a text box and anchor it to the section break above the columns.
