how can I put a long table in two columns

I did what you wrote and it worked.
I believe the only thing I did not as before was to

set the wrap to none.
I wonder why that was so important, do you know?
It doesn't seem to me that it should make such difference.
Thanks so much for your solution.

It makes a fundamental difference, in that wrapped tables are treated much like pictures and such. Ever tried to get a picture to wrap in columns?

When text is set to wrap around a table, the table becomes a “floating” object and acts very much like a graphic. As such, it cannot be reflowed. Have a look at Positioning Tables (Like Floating Graphics) on a Page.
