Fast report problem displaying data on a page

I have a list of people and i want to show their personal data for only 6 persons per page. I have a masterdata band with details such as name, place of work etc , a detail band with a variable number of rows and at the end a place for signature. I set the format of page a4, landscape with 3 columns, but i don't want to split the data for a certain person in different columns. Eg.:

MasterDataField 1: value
MasterDataField 2: value
.................
MasterDataField 7 : value (there are exactly 7 rows)
______________________
DetailField1: value
...............
DetailField: value (variable no. of rows)

Signature: ________________

So this is how is suposse to look a dataset ( masterdata+detaildata+footer(this has the signature line) for 1 person. i want 3 columns with 2 persons' data on each column...
How do i control the spacing between each data set and how do i avoid splitting data of a person in 2 different columns?
I mention that i use fastreport 3.15.

    I set the page report property Columns to 3, but i have a masterdata band and a detail band.
    I've used and FastReport 4, it happened that now i used 3.15 so this is not so important...

    write code in the opb event of the masterdata band to force a new column.
    get the detail dataset record count, multiply bandheight by the no of recs then check the freespace if less than
    the calculated value call engine .newcolumn.
