    Word has a button that splits the text into to columns it looks like two columns of dashes on your toolbar. See if that will help.

      Thank you for your prompt resply.
      However,that split column feature is good for "newsletter " writing, not for the double column that i am looking for.

      What I want is "double column" that enables left and right colum tracking together: for example, on the left column, original text, and on the right column, the translation, and both original text and translation tracked together.

        You might want to try diffmerge from SourceGear.


        It's primarily for doing... well.. diffs N merges! :-)

        You can turn off/on varying levels of dff checking - or turn it off altogether.

        Hope that helps...
