I wouldn’t expect a full-blown page-layout capability–just some simple tab stops would suffice.

The sports template I just purchased has 30 main comps. One of them has 100 separate text layers for entering stats– 1 row for each of 10 players, then 9 columns of stats, all to be entered one stat at a time. If I could set tabs, I could just have 10 single rows and put all stats in at the tab stops to line them up. Fortunately, this one is set up with a motion that DOES allow me to do it in Illustrator, but there are similar comps that put the text layers in motion to bring them on to the screen, and trying to bring it all in with a single AI file just doesn’t work.

I see that the users forum on Adobe’s site has a FAQ for this exact problem. I’m away from the computer in question right now, but will try that fix when I get back to the school later today.
