Topics with Two Columns, and ?s about Margins

I've been searching all over and can't quite get the answers I need.  I have a robohelp project which will solely be for written documentation.  Some of the topics within this project I would like two have two columns, the left column will just have headings and the right side will have content.  I did accomplish this by making a table, however I can't remove the borders.  I also tried another way by using this, which works great but when I made printed documentation it didn't make it look like I have on my screen (printed the headings all together then the content on later pages).

#container2 {

    clear: left;

    float: left;

    width: 100%;

    overflow: hidden;

}

#container1 {

    float: left;

    width: 100%;

    position: relative;

    right: 50%;

}

#col1 {

    float: left;

    width: 50%;

    position: relative;

    overflow: hidden;

}

#col2 {

    float: left;

    width: 50%;

    position: relative;

    overflow: hidden;

}

So I guess I have a few questions to try and make this project go smoothly.  Since I will only be using this project for written documentation, what would be the best way to make sure that each topic I am working on will print the way I want it to (margins, etc.)?  Is there a good way to deal with my two column issue?  Would making a style that indents the text be a good solution?

I may have answered this for myself, but I just ended up making tables that have white borders.  I would prefer a nicer way to have a two column setup but have been unable to find such a way.

You may also want to check out CSS columns. That will allow you to work without using tables and let the browser to take care of the rest. See: http://www.w3schools.com/css/css3_multiple_columns.asp

Kind regards,
