Two text columns in one text box. How?

[EvilOneGFX]

Hello everybody.

I stumbled across a paragraph styles quick tip video that shows two text boxes with two columns in them and I can't figure out how they were made. The first text box shows a game schedule, the second shows dummy text. At first I thought they were two linked text boxes with hidden edges, but then I realized they weren't as you can see the box running across the two columns of text. Check out the video so that you can see what I'm talking about. Can anybody help me please?

Hi Daniel,

With your area type object selected you can go to Type>Area Type Options... and change your column settings there.

Awesome, KGB! Thanks a lot man!! I really appreciate it. I had been breaking my head trying to figure it. Never knew about that particular tool since I really don't do a lot of text in Ai. Once again, thanks.
