Default How do I manage parallel text columns across multiple pages?

I have parallel texts in two different languages that are longer than a page
in length. When Word breaks to the next page it messes up the separated
columns. On page two, I end up with Italian in the middle of the English
text. How can I keep the two columns totally separate and parallel across
multiple pages. I have section breaks on both ends of the columns with a
column break between the English and Italian texts and it still doesn't keep
them separate when I am adding and moving text around within my booklet
design. Help!

Instead of using newspaper-style columns, use a two-column borderless table,
beginning a new row for each paragraph.
