Ben, Mike-- 

I'll be getting to this soon. I'm still thinking about the right way to do it--in my workflow, it starts as an XML file, so it's (relatively) easy to transform it into a marked-up table using XSL to do an XML-to-tagged-text conversion, which means that I don't have to worry about the table formatting (it's all done in the tagged text). 

What I've been thinking about, however, is how to do it when the text is already on the page. In the previous version of "Real World InDesign," I used a script to create an inline frame for headings such as those Ben mentioned. That won't work for Mike, who needs the height of the multi-column text to auto-size to fit the height of the text (presumably as you edit it). 

So I'm investigating a number of approaches. I'll keep you posted. 

Thanks, 

Ole
