Default Flow table into two columns on page

I'm trying to create a directory on legal sized paper with two columns of
entries. These entries are in tables that contain categories, names and phone
numbers. I'd like the table in the left-hand column to flow into a table at
the top of the right-hand column. How do I do this?

It depends on what you're trying to do. You can use two columns (Format |
Columns) and create a table in the first one, which will wrap to the second.
That will work well for a single-page, but if you're actually trying to
create a booklet, you'd be better off using "Book fold" or at least "2 pages
per sheet" (both options under "Multiple pages" on the Margins tab of Page
Setup).
