It does seem to require a lot of extra work. Maybe you should take a
step back and ask if it is possible to keep the different language
versions in different files--or at least find out how the problem was
handled in the past.

hmmm, it is 36 pages of Latin on normal A4-format, so even more in
the
column... That's going to take a lot of time... Well, thanks anyway,
I'll see
with which of the two faults I'll have to live.

I'm afraid that line numbers won't show for text in a table cell.
You
can fake it, by typing the numbers in a text box, located in the
left
margin. Whether it is worth the effort, depends on the length of
this
"parallel text."

It seemed to work out nice, but now all my line numbers in the
Latin
text are
gone. I understand all numbers might get completely different
since
the
letters are not smaller (I suppose it's not possible to have the
same
numbering, maybe through a lettertype twice as small, as I had
before, since
I refer to those numbers in my thesis...), but it doesn't seem
possible to
get back line numbers in the margins of the Latin text... Do you
know any
solution for this?

Thank you.

Use a two-column table without borders.

I have one document with a Latin text and one with my
translation.
Now I want
to put them in two columns next to eachother. But when I
let
Word
make
columns, it decides for me what to put in which column and
I
don't
want that.

I have already tried to put the text in textboxes, but
this
was
not
possible
since there are footnotes in the text.

Please help me if you know, it's my thesis and has to be
as
perfect
as
possible by the end of the week...
