Hello,


I want to put two parallel text (translated subtitles) in a single word document, so I could see them in the same pages as I need to do some comparisons.


Regards,

Columns?

I am hoping you know about columns. Under Format menu or icon on your Toolbar

Only here temporarily during job transition....again....but better this time.
 
when you past a larger texts (more than one page) the columns are not the solution. However, i found another solution (Tables).


Thanks a lot.
 



Yes, I was about to suggest tables.

When you have related blocks of text, a 2 column table is the way to go. The ROW expands to accomodate the longest text value in each column.

Each new topic begins in a new row.

I'd use this, for instance, to display 2 or more translations of a verse from a biblical passage...
[tt]
Judge not that ye Do not judge, or Do not judge so
be not judged you too will be that you will not
judged be judged.
