How do I get two columns to act independantly in Word 2003?

I want two running, sortable lists, side-by-side in word 2003. I want them
to run onto following pages, if necessary. How can I do this in word 2003?

For this you need a two-column table. Take care to start a new row whenever
it's practical, as Word has problems with table rows that exceed one page.

I should have expanded on my intent.

a) two 5 c X 70 r tables. (or longer)
b) visually side by side with a gap between them.
c) Each table shoulds be sortable. I would do this in excel but the
formating is easier in word
d) tables are individually sortable, but scroll with the slider bar together

This *can* be done in Word 2003, but I'm not sure I'd want to have to deal
with it (and note that it will not be backward-compatible). In Word 2003
(but not in earlier versions), wrapped tables can be broken across pages,
and of course wrapped tables can be placed side by side. Only one of the
tables would actually have to be wrapped. The other could be inline.
