First, when you say you're importing it... does that mean that you're bringing it in through a text, CVS, RTF or some other intermediate format or that you're importing it as an OLE object (not the best choice)?

Assuming that you're actually converting the data to an FM table... you could pretty obviously do it by cutting and pasting the parent table into four segments to populate the columngs.

But the way that I'd do it would be to keep the table in it's single column. And set up a Master page with four text columns so that the single-column table would snake through the four text columns. That would let the content flow automatically so that it would adjust itself to deletions and additions.
