Default New at tables

Use the columns feature as well as tables, or use a five-column table with a
narrow middle column for your gutter.

Using Word 2002 on Windows XP

What I'm attempting to do is a English to Spanish dictionary for
self-study
purposes using a whole sheet Word doc. There will be end up being
multiple
pages of course.

Presently, I have a two column table with 500+ rows so far, but that
results
in many pages and wasted space. Now for the part I don't know how to do.
There is enough room on each page for two sets of these double columns,
but
there needs to be a gutter or something separating them and have each
double
set act independently on each page, so I can cut down on the number of
pages
I will have to print. This is probably a very simple problem for those of
you "in the know". I want two independent, double columns per page and I
need a little help creating it. Am I making any sense here?
