Align two texts side by side in Word

Solved/Closed

Hello,

I would like to know if someone can help me with Word.
I want to put two texts side by side on the same page, but I can't seem to do it even though I know it's possible.

For example, I would like to have the original lyrics of a song on one side and the translation of the song on the other, but all on the same page...

Thank you very much :)

    Hello,

    for Word 2003 (for 2007, you just need to find the commands ...).
    • 1) open your document;
    • 2) Menu >> Format >> Columns;
    • 3) choose the number of columns (2 for you), select >> Equal column width;
    • 4) confirm; Now we will create two "independent" columns side by side...
    • 5) Place the cursor at the end of the text you want in your left column (if there's no text yet, press enter 3 or four times);
    • 6) Menu >> Insert >> Break >> select "Column break";


    There you go... you have two columns facing each other (you can even include numbering for each line of the column, etc.).

    See you later
