I have a VB script that works with indented styles, i.e., it's a form of vertical tabulation. It operates like this: 

1. create a series of styles that are indented left and right. The indent will be converted into the left and right position of the column. The style can have any text characteristic, a la InDesign, within a column. 

2. tag your paragraphs with your styles, e.g. tab1, tab2, tab3, tab4 and run the script. 

3. the script finds all the styles in your document and you select the styles that are tabular and tick the style that begins the table(s). 

4. run the script. 

I'm using it daily for columnar chess notation in newspapers, so it does work. Only hassle is creating the styles, which will need a paper an pencil to work out the left and right indents. 

Advantage is the flexibility of text style and the ability to simply create horizontal formating text in pars that a journalist like me understands: one after the other. 

I can bundle the stuff up in a zip and get it to you if you are interested, but you may find that I've hard-wired some of the paths, so you may have a few minutes work to do on it.
