Default Aligning text in columns

I suspect he's already using a table since he posted in the tables NG and
referred to a row.

Use a table instead of columns. Start a new row each time you need
things to align. See

explanation.

When columns consist of several lines (in one row), I'm having trouble

The only solution seems to use the enter-key a lot, but any adjustments

made
in the next column disturbs the alignment again.

Does anyone have a better idea? Thanks,
