: Align text to center of text field in double-column in Indesign So, I want to achieve this effect, but then automatically (without having to edit the text manually): So basically, the left

What you want here are tables.

Add a table with 2 columns and however many rows you want – you can do the whole thing with just 2 rows, or keep adding a new row for each line.

You'll need to remove the stroke around the table that appears by default. You can adjust the spacing between cells for your spacing. I've hilighted both in the image below.

I have searched for this answer for a long time. I have not found an elegant solution.

The best solution I have been able to come up with to semi-automate this is to have separate Text Boxes that I can then apply an Object Style to. Object Styles will allow you to apply a Paragraph Style to all contents in the Text Box. You can set a simple Paragraph Style with right or left justify and then use the Object style to apply that style to the box.

Most times, I just buckle down and do it manually, it's usually faster.

Put a column break between them, at the bottom of the left column.

I'm not sure if this is "automated" enough for your needs, but you could try giving the left-hand column a right-aligned tab, and leaving the right-hand column as is (both columns still technically left-justified):
