placing two long docs side by side

E

elsteamola

Hello All:

I've got a problem: two long docs that I'd like to place side by side. I'm
thinking two columns, and I thought that if I formatted a new document w/ 2
columns, then pasted one doc in one column and then the other in the other
column everything would be cool. Well, when I try to paste one doc it runs
into the other column.
How do I do what I want to do?

Thanks in advance.

You'll have to put them in a two-column borderless table, but be aware that
Word is not comfortable with long single-row tables, so if you can find a
way to break the text into new rows from time to time (at least once per
page), your document will function better.

Use a two column table.

Hi Elsteamola,

Do the two documents have to go into the same document, or is this just for
the sake of being able to scroll them together? Word 2003 introduced a feature
that will let you view and scroll two documents side-by-side, in their own
windows.
