I want to make a 2 column chapter, with the text in each column in its own flow. But then I want some of the paragraphs to line up between columns.

So, like this:

xxxxxxxxxx yyyyyyyyy
xxxxxxxxxx yyyyyyyyy
xxxxxxxxxx yyyyyyyyy
             yyyyyyyyy
             yyyyyyyyy
xxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxx

xxxxxxxxxx yyyyyyyyy
xxxxxxxxxx yyyyyyyyy

I'm assuming I can't use side heads to put the first column text in, because the info on the left goes on for multiple paragraphs, and I can't seem to line up a block of paragraphs with the baseline of the appropriate right column text.

I used to do this in tables, like this:

_______________________
xxxxxxxxxx ! yyyyyyyyy
xxxxxxxxxx ! yyyyyyyyy
xxxxxxxxxx ! yyyyyyyyy
           ! yyyyyyyyy
           ! yyyyyyyyy
_______________________
xxxxxxxxxx !
xxxxxxxxxx !
xxxxxxxxxx !
_______________________
xxxxxxxxxx ! yyyyyyyyy
xxxxxxxxxx ! yyyyyyyyy

...where the gridlines between rows and columns would be hidden. However, I sometimes need to print just the right column, which meant I had to remove the table. It's a 600-page document, I was looking for a more elegant solution.

Any suggestions?

I am using FM8.0(266) on Windows XP.
