When the new type container is in position, release the mouse button, and then 
Shift+Alt (Windows) or Shift+Option (Mac OS). You must release the mouse button before 
you release the keys.
The type flows from the first type container to the second, and the two type containers are 
linked.
You can choose Object > Transform > Transform Again to create additional columns.
To link or unlink type containers:
Select the selection tool  .
Drag a marquee through the type containers to be linked, or Shift-click with the 
selection tool. The baselines should be selected.
Choose either Type > Blocks > Link or Type > Blocks > Unlink. 
To remove or replace a linked type container without deleting the type:
Select the group-selection tool  .
Click the edge of the type container you want to remove. 
Press Delete. The type container you selected disappears, and the type that it contained 
flows into the next grouped or linked object in the stacking order. 
To add a new type container, create or select a type container, select the group-
selection tool, and Shift-click the type container to which you want to link the new type 
container. Then choose Type > Blocks > Link. The type flows into the new type container.
Creating rows and columns
By using the Rows & Columns dialog box, you can divide rectangles and text blocks into 
blocks of rows and columns and precisely change the height, width, and gutter size 
between rows and columns. The Rows & Columns dialog box can also be used to change 
the way in which text flows (from left-to-right or right-to-left for both vertical and 
horizontal text) by clicking the Text Flow buttons. 
It is also possible to create rows and columns of linked type containers. (See 
.)
Because the rows and columns created are simply graphic objects unless they contain 
type, you can also use the Rows & Columns dialog box to create rectangles. Select an 
existing rectangle and divide it into multiple rectangles using the dialog box.
In addition, using the Rows & Columns dialog box is a fast way to create guides for laying 
out artwork. (See 
.)
To divide a rectangular graphic object or type container into rows and columns:
Using the selection tool  , select a rectangle or type container. If the selected object is 
not rectangular, it is converted into rows and columns based on the object’s rectangular 
bounding box.
Choose Type > Rows & Columns.
