How do you form a 2 column doc showing corresponding text in 2 languages- example: 3 page summary in English in the Left Column and the translation in Spanish matching the English paragraph in the right column. Having difficulty formating whereby Spanish language goes into the English column. I try my best never to use columns! I would suggest using a two-column table. jamerican > How do you form a 2 column doc showing corresponding text in 2 languages- > example: 3 page summary in English in the Left Column and the translation in > Spanish matching the English paragraph in the right column.

You could use a 2-column page and insert a column break at the end of the first page of English, then a column break at the end of the first page of Spanish (which means the next column appears on the next page), and so on -- they probably won't come out exactly the same length, so this gives exactly the result your readers will appreciate.

Make sure to break to a new row at the end of every paragraph or some other logical breaking point; don't let a single row extend longer than a page.  SignatureSuzanne S.
