Balance text at the top of a two column frame

[timl67630635]

Is there a way to balance a two column text frame at the top on a new chapter page. I know I could put chapter headings in their own frame and have that span accross the page but I want to keep everything in the threaded text flow as it's a long book. I have forced the chapter title down the page with an invisable rule above (first screen shot). I would like both body copy columns to balance, as in second screen shot, amd do it within character and paragraph styles.

Hi, just realised the answer's in the span column option. I knew it would be a simple answer.
