Open your report in design view
In Access 2003 and earlier
SELECT File: Page Setup from the menu
Click on the Columns tab
Change Number of Columns to 2
Change Column Size Width to a value that is half the width minus your margins
and column spacing.
Change Column layout to Across then Down

You can do a similar thing in Access 2007 and 2010. You will just have to
find how to get into Page Setup when using the Ribbon.
