I have a two collumn text box. I would like the Title to span "all" collumns like InDesign. Is this possible?

I created a workflow chart and would prefer not to use muliple text boxes. ...and please don't suggest I build it in InDesign as a correct answer, thank you 😕😕

You can mimic it in Illustrator, but it's a bumpy ride. You will soon hate this approach.

This hysterical. Took me about 3 clicks to not enjoy the bumpy ride.

If the options in the text area options are not sufficient, then that's that.

These folks have a plugin for Illustrator to create tables: https://www.priint.com/en/priint-illustrator-tables.html (not for free)

@Monika Gause Thank you, as I suspected. Is there anyway to turn this thread into a UserVioice product improvement request?
