Creating a newspaper style inside an article

Hi,

I would like to be able to have a newspaper style within my article, without using tables and can't see how to do this. Please note that I am very green on php, css and know a bit about html. However, I am developing for people who have virtually no html experience nor want it. an FLEXIContent achieve this? Can I get the editor to somehow display the columns?

Regards,

Neil
