Columns feature and page-break

I'm producing a report to be printed onto labels, and so am using the columns
feature in the layout.
I have a list around my textboxes displaying the data, and another list
surrounding this with a grouping and a page-break at the end of the group.
However the page-break is actually being rendered (into PDF) as a
column-break. That is, one group may finish half way down column 2 on page 1,
and then the next grup will start at the top of column 3 on page 1 instead of
column 1 of page 2.
If this is 'correct behaviour', does anyone know how I might effect a true
page-break?
Many thanks.

It seems like you might want to have the inner list control break
after a group as well. SSRS tends to be a little funny about rendering
columns when exported into PDF. Hope this is helpful. Sorry for the
delayed reply.
