If you prefer to keep your current formatting, select the entire table, then
from the (standard) toolbar, click the columns icon and choose the number of columns. If the document is otherwise empty, the table won't appear to wrap to the columns until the number of rows exceeds what till fit on a page. If you have text before and after the three-column section, it will more likely appear in three columns immediately. Note that the default gutter between columns is large, but you can change it to a more usual 1/4 to 1/3 of an inch if you choose.
