Splitting one cell into two columns?

[btap]

Hi, Is it possible to split a single cell into two columns? I have several cells containing a large amount of text that need to be divided into two columns. How can I achieve this? The reason I need it to be in a table is that some text will have frames, some will have a background, and some will be plain—all while maintaining a continuous flow. Thank you in advance!

Correct: I would like to "break" one cell into two columns.

Cells can't be divided in columns and text can't flow from one cell to another. You need to set up your layout with regular frames that you will thread.

Ok, I see. Thank you so much for your answer!

What kind of background? 

Maybe you can use shading in ParaStyle?

Just a background colour that follows the text. Instead of table, normal text boxes with paragraph shading was on my mind too.

Since my document will contain a lot of different elements (text, long text boxes with background, pictures, graphical elements on 4 columns) I thought it would be good to have everything in a table to keep the flow on everything

Forget about tables - too much headache in your case.
