AE 6.1 M080 - format modifications during publishing

Do you have any recommendations on how to perform format modifications (controlling hyphenation, preventing column breaks, preventing page breaks) during 'print' publishing? Apparently this is not supported in 6.1 M080. It has been fixed for 7.0. However this does not help us now. Are there any workarounds for the formatting I mention above?

FYI, we are using Styler with APP.
