Use a table with two columns. One for English and one for the other
language. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] ~~~~~ How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/KB/555375 "PremierPaula" wrote in message ... How can you simply create a document that is many pages long and compares English to a foreign langage page by page side by side. |

If you're intent is to compare the two variations on the same page, follow
JoAnn's suggestion. However, I interpreted your question to ask how to have the one version on one page & the translated version on the facing page. If this is the case you'll have serious complications trying to do so in Word. You don't create "pages" in Word, you create text flow - the "pages" are generated based on the content. IMHO, do each language version as a separate Word doc, then use a page layout program to assemble the final, importing & placing the Word docs as needed... Especially so if it is "...many pages long...".

Thanks for your reply. This is how I ended up solving my situation. I hope
this proves helpful to you as well as other users. I opened each Word document in Word (The English & the Spanish documents) Did a side by side compare Adjusted the page breaks to match each document Although some pages have more text, the information on each page was the same Printed the document Merged the documents together, taking one page from each document and putting it behind the other, ie. Title page in Spanish first, then the title page in English, then page 1 in Spanish, page 1 in English and so on and soforth.. Then placed this large stack of paper into the copier and told it to print two pages onto one (reduction was about 64%) After I did this they were then English on one side of the page and Spanish on the opposite side. After that printed out, I put the pages back through the copier and printed it two sided. This reduced the number of pages drastically I then bound it into a booklet. I hope this was helpful!
