I would like to create a document with two independent columns on each page
using MS word: The text from column 1 on page 1 should flow onto column 1 on
page 2 and similarly for the text in column 2. The tables facility seems to
be a good way to do this (just create a two column table) but page breaks are
not handled within a row so that the text just disappears off the first page.
It would be possible to manually break up the text by creating a new row for
each page, but changing coping with overflow onto the next page as editing
is done would be a nightmare.
I've also played around with the position command and old side-by-side
paragraph format without any luck. Does anyone have any better ideas?
Thanks,
Andrew Mackinnon
