    Columns.

    Menus: Format, Columns...
    Or click on the icons for columns on the standard toolbar.

    I think there are limited plans for frames based layout in future
    version of Abiword but within the current feature set Columns are probably
    the only solution.

    Right justify can be set on a per cell basis and has a convenient shortcut
    so I can only assume you are doing something special and that ordinary
    Right Justify is not enough.

    Menus: Format, Align, Right Ctrl+R
