Hi I have a document of text that I want to put into columns. Is there an easy way of doing it in tables without having to copy and paste in each cell?
Many thanks Simon

You can do much better than tables! You have several options here. If you want to use side-by-side HTML boxes, you can use the link tool (looks like a chain) to merge the text flows of multiple HTML boxes together. While this is not a true multi-column text box (the result will be separate HTML container elements, with the text divided between them) it will look like what you want.
The other (more semantic) option is to use the CSS3 Columns Action on your existing HTML box. You set the number of columns, their spacing, and desired divider line (if any), and when you view it in a modern browser, the text will simply be in multiple columns. The best part of this is that the resulting HTML will be unencumbered by multiple container elements that don’t have anything to do with the actual content.
