Style does not support column-flowed text, so you will have to do all of
this yourself (if you really want to).

I use tex-edit for styled text (and Pepper for unstyled).

In text edit (and Style) you would
1. figure out the lines that are for column one and those that are for
column two (probably make two lists)

then just build text

repeat with n from 1 to linesPerPage

make new line and end of document 1 with data item n of col1 & tab & item n
of col2

end
