FrameMaker (7.2) tables - any way to "auto-flow" text from column to column ?

I've got a bunch of numerically-ordered info (82 entries) that for now would divide into 4 columns of 17 entries plus a column of 14 entries. Fine, I can create that table.
But I know for sure that at some point I'll need to add another entry in the middle, causing the rest of the data to need to shift.
Can Frame tables be setup to do that automatically? Probably, and I'll take a few minutes to look at the help. But of course this is needed "now", so I'll probably just do it manually for now and deal with the formatting niceties another time.
But if there's just a table setting, that'd be great!
