    Can anyone please tell me how to adjust the width of columns?!
    I have two columns in the Area Type and I used to be able to either hover with the pointer over the edge of the column and the pointer symbol would change and then I could drag to change the size or I would click the Cell Style button.

    Can't find anything by searching online and also nothing in my Adobe illustrator Manual..WTF?!

    • Pick Area Type, click on the canvas, write something, go to the left of the area type in the corner, click on that little icon, expand the area type into a secografician
    • second column and the type in the first area type will follow into the second column and you can resize the column from the middle-right sidegrafician
    • Should be a little icon where I put the RED OVAL in this image https://i.imgur.com/…grafician

    • Another method: draw a rectangle as a frame, go to Menu - Object - Path - Split into grid and pop-up will appear where you can set the columnsgrafician
    • After you set your columns, pick the Area Type tool, click in the column, write, then adjust the column width as a rectangle widthgrafician
