MS Office Forum / Word / Page Layout / October 2005Comparison document in columns
I have a complete document, formatted normally. I would like to change this to a two column format with my original in the left hand column and my new, corrected, edited copy, in the right. Does anyone know if this is possible? Thank you for taking a moment for my post. Jason Clarke Waynesboro, VA  SignatureJason Clarke I suspect the easiest way to effect this is to use a two-column (borderless) table. Note, however, that Word doesn't like long single-row tables, so start a new row with each paragraph or at some other natural break point. SignatureSuzanne S.

The only other option I could find in the Wor help suggested using linked Text Boxes. The multi-post occured because the operation timed out twice and di not appear to accept my post, but I appreciate your multi-posting t let me know. Jason Suzanne S.

If a table is not required, but simply what you thought would be best, you could investigate those features. http://shaunakelly.com/word/trackchanges/HowTrackChangesWorks.html You might prefer the table, that's fine, or a table will be better if the person to receive the doc gets it on paper or is not very tech-savvy. > I have a complete document, formatted normally.
