Setup 2 col page for 2 projects to run side by side over 9 pages?
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 KevinB |

Setup 2 col page for 2 projects to run side by side over 9 pages?
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: http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFl...ableBasics.htm -- Regards Lene Fredborg DocTools - Denmark www.thedoctools.com Document automation - add-ins, macros and templates for Microsoft Word "KevinB" wrote: 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?

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.

I don't know which specific publishing requirements you have in mind. Word
tables can be converted to PDF. -- Regards Lene Fredborg DocTools - Denmark www.thedoctools.com Document automation - add-ins, macros and templates for Microsoft Word "KevinB" wrote: This could work if this format was suitable for publishing from, or converting to print ready PDF?

Setup 2 col page for 2 projects to run side by side over 9 pag
If using Tables is the only way to do this in Word I will do it that way.
The question still remains:- Can this be done using Columns? Does Columns have a feature like Tables where you can use the "Allow row to break across pages" or "Allow column to break across pages" facility? I have Word 2007.

Setup 2 col page for 2 projects to run side by side over 9 pag
There is no workable way to do what you want using columns. You would have to
insert column breaks and insert the data in fragments (i.e. data from document A that fits in column 1 on page 1, column break, data from document B that fits in column 2 on page 1, column break, data from document A that fits in column 1 on page 2, etc.). -- Regards Lene Fredborg DocTools - Denmark www.thedoctools.com Document automation - add-ins, macros and templates for Microsoft Word "KevinB" wrote: If using Tables is the only way to do this in Word I will do it that way.

Setup 2 col page for 2 projects to run side by side over 9 pag
Thank you Lene...
Looks like I am stuck with using Tables...  Sure would be nice if this feature were available in Word  I am sure I am not the first nor the last that this feature would be useful for!
