How do I marry text in 2 separate columns?
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

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. "Charles Kenyon" wrote: People usually use separate table rows to accomplish this.

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. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://www.mvps.org/word which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.
