"A friend of mine is typing a paper in French and would then
translate it to English. After this she wants to combine the
two files so that each line of French (in italics or some
other style) will be followed by the corresponding
translated English line, which would be in a different
style.  Sounds exciting!!

"Please e-mail your reply, since the news server here is
playing games with us these days.  Thanks."

Though Haseen Ibne Alam asks for e-mail, I thought others might face similar
problems.  I think this is definitely the place for MSW's "table" function,
placing parallel sentences in cells side by side.

This would allow readers to read the whole article in the chosen language, yet
compare sentences in both languages.  Any attempts to create merged documents
should keep an important facet in mind: try not to interfere with the users'
ability to read and comprehend the material -- that is why you wrote it, isn't
it?

Now back to how to merge those two files into a TABLE structure ... any ideas?
