Instead of using a proprietary application for this relatively simple DTP application, use Word. Since we all know of Microsoft's incredible proliferation, I'm going to assume you have Microsoft Word. With Word the solution is simple. Use tables. Open up a new document, put a heading on it, and pull down the Table menu and choose Insert Table. Leave the Columns setting at 2 and put Rows at 5 or 6. Then click Ok. Now you've got your two columns. Put your Video and Audio headings in the first row and you're on your way. Use TAB and Shift+TAB to move from cell to cell. When you get to the last row, just hit tab again and it will make an additional row. If you want to get clever, you can move your mouse to the far left side of the page next to your heading row, click to select that entire row, and choose Copy from the Edit menu. Then choose Header and Footer from the View menu, and choose Paste. That way the heading will remain on additional pages. We've used Word for these A/V scripts at my studio and it's worked out well.
