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.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
