Is there a way to distribute text over several columns?

I have a table with three td’s. The text is loaded by php. I want to start printing the text in td1 and use td2 as spacing. When td1 is full I want the text to continue in td3 and so on.  
How can I to do that?

Is there a way to make the rest of the text “jump” to another td when the first is full?
