Well, neither CSS1/2 nor table can format text into columns (I mean, multi-column layout where text flows into columns automatically). You can do some workaround with float or positioning, but in either case, you have to decide which part of text should be in which column. Actually, there is a proposal for CSS3 to achieve "real" multi-column layout [1]. If you are interested in multi-column layout, take a look at the proposal and send your comments to www-style@w3.org.
