What about Document->Page->Type->Paper ?

I don't think so, to my knowledge, there is no such setting. One 
approximation
to this is to add new void lines in the end of the second column, then you
would increase the length of the two columns, the text moves from the second
to the first one, and second becomes full of void lines.
