Reply To: Individual Text Column Color

Ok, I have figured out an odd, but simple work around:

I make sure my columned text frame is split into multiple frames, but making sure the frames are threaded. I then anchor each text frame to the table where the positioning is relative to the text frame (so I can move each frame exactly where I need them). Then I position each text frame inside the table cells. Now, when I select the table, it will move everything, and I can color each cell as I please and the text will still flow through all frames.

It is a bit cumbersome at first, but once everything is in place, it becomes real simple. I also used a couple scripts to split the columns into frames and also to anchor each text frame to the table.
