Adding columns to text frames

You can lay out text in columns. You can create columns of equal or varying widths and gutters. You can also apply right-to-left text flow to the columns for bidirectional (bidi) text, such as Arabic and Hebrew (Note that this option is available only for certain languages).

The text in the frame (left) was laid out in two columns (right).
