Default Setup 2 col page for 2 projects to run side by side over 9 pag

This could work if this format was suitable for publishing from, or
converting to print ready PDF? I want to set this up in the correct format
(or a format that will convert) from the start as there will be many pages
involved.
Thanks

You could insert your data in 2-column tables instead of ordinary columns.

If you create only a single table with 2 columns and 1 row and insert all
data in that table, the row can continue from page to page, still keeping
left- and right-column data separated. If the row stops at the bottom of the
first page even if you insert more data, select Table Table Properties
Row tab and turn on the "Allow row to break across pages" check button.

If you need information about working with tables, see the articles at:

How do I setup a Word Page Layout, Setup 2 col page for 2 projects to run
side by side over 9 or more pages?

I know how to set up 2 columns per page, that is easy.
My challenge is this:-
I have 2 different documents I want to run side by side over more than 1
page. i.e. Say 2 columns are named "A" & "B" for each page... starting on
page 1 I want to copy a document to column A... when it gets to the bottom of
column A I want it to continue on on column A on page 2 and so on. I want to
do the same with a different document in column B on pages 1, 2 and so on.
Column "A" material is always in column A and column B material is always in
column B regardless of the page number.
How do you, or can you set the 2 columns up as if they were 2 different
pages running side by side?
Seems tricky, but believe Word with all its features is able to do this.
Can anyone help?
Thank you
