breaking text field into columns

I have a text field that has over 10 lines of data. It is a list of activities. Is there any way to format this field to display in two columns.

I'd suggest 2 calculations:

The first one counts the number of paragraph returns, finds the position of the middle one, and takes all the characters up to that point.

The second one counts the number of paragraph returns, finds the position of the middle one, and takes all the characters after that point.

Then display them side by side.
