To create rows and columns of text...
Select an area type object. This is created by dragging your cursor with the text tool.
Choose Type > Area Type Options.
In the Rows and Columns sections of the dialog box, set the following options:
Number to specify the number of rows and columns you want the object to contain.
Span to specify the height of individual rows and the width of individual columns.
Fixed to determine what happens to the span of rows and columns if you resize the type area. When this option is selected, resizing the area can change the number of rows and columns, but not their width. Leave this option deselected if you want row and column widths to change when you resize the type area.
Gutter to specify the distance between rows or columns.
In the Options section of the dialog box, select a Text Flow option to determine how text flows between rows and columns: By Rows or By Columns .
Click OK.
