instance, an article translated in English
on the left and the same article translated in French on the right.
To flow text in parallel, display paragraph
marks in your document. Click at the top of the page where you want the
side-by-side columns to start, and press Enter twice. Click in the first
paragraph mark on the page. On the Insert menu, click Text Box and drag on
the page where you want the first column. Click Text Box again and then
click and drag where you want the second column. Click in the last
paragraph mark on the page, and press Ctrl + Enter to create a page break.
Repeat the process for each page that will
contain side-by-side columns in your document and then return to the first
text box you created. Click the text box on the left once to select it.
Click your right mouse button and then click Create Text Box Link. The pointer
becomes a pitcher. Click the text box on the left side of the second page
to create a link. Create links for all text boxes within the same article
on the left side of the document. Repeat the process for every text box in
the right chain or article.
Pressing Enter twice at the top of each
page will create an extra empty paragraph. This blank paragraph is useful
if you want to insert text or graphics outside of the text boxes. You can
delete the extra blank paragraph if you don't need it.
Copying linked text boxes
You can copy an article or a chain of text
boxes that are linked together, to another document or to another location
in the same document. To copy linked text boxes and the text they contain,
you must copy all the linked text boxes in an article. Select the first
text box in an article. Hold down Shift, and click each additional text
boxes you want to copy. On the Edit menu, click Copy. Click where you want
to copy the text boxes and then click Paste.
To copy some of the text from an article, select the text you want to
copy from the article and then copy it. Do not select the text box. You
can paste text you’ve copied directly into your document, into another
location within the same article, or into another article.v
