How do I marry text in 2 separate columns?

L

LarryMcIntyre

I have exhausted my research trying to figure this out. Maybe one of you more
experienced users can help. I have a document in landscape with 2 (table)
columns. I want to marry text in the left column to text in the right. The
text in the left is an outline and the text in the right is more detailed
content. So I want to tag the keypoints in the left to the content on the
right so that when a carriage return is enter on the left side, the content
on the right will move down also.

Thanks

Larry

People usually use separate table rows to accomplish this. Am I missing
something?

Thanks and I'm sure that would work under usual circumstances except I need
to keep the text unseperated to accommodate easy import to an elearning
authoring system.

Then the only thing I can think of is to manually insert paragraphs in one
column to match up with the other. I would suggest, instead, using the
separate rows in Word and converting your table to text to export to your
authoring system.
