In that particular case I think it could be a table. as the 2 columns could be of equal height. A 1 x 2 table.
What I need is a block of text the full height of the page next to several images stacked on top of each other vertically. Now that I am thinking of it, perhaps I could add the images together into a single image and then use a 2 column table set to the height of the page. What I really need, thinking about it over the last few days, is the ability to create columns in 4D write Pro that are not tables but real columns. Of course the easiest solution is to provide an option to paste pictures behind text as we could in 4D Write. Perhaps that is not possible in Pro??
