Default Can I text wrap to create two columns within a table?

The document created has several headers for different services and below the
headers will be the associated tasks. This list needs to be alphabetical and
needs updating on a regular basis. I was wondering whether there was any way
to insert a table and then have the text wrap from one column to the next so
when edits are performed the whole sheet doesn't need to be reformatted?

Would it work to use snaking columns instead of a table?

Hi rakcsd,

In a table, the cells are meant to be independent. Perhaps you'd do better with a multi-column page layout. With that arrangement,
you could insert a single-column table that would automatically wrap to fill each column of the page.
