Another suggestion for OO 5.0 - Parallel columns.

In OO at present (<=OO 4.1) columns fill from the bottom on the first column to 
the top of the second column on the same page (Newspaper column fashion).  
Users doing textual analysis often need parallel columns, where several columns 
can be place on the same page (or on a two page spread) and the text continues 
from each column to the same column on the next page/spread. Such parallel 
columns are used for comparative texts in differing languages or for comparison 
of differing versions of a document (for example in Biblical exegesis).

At present, Users desiring this may have to resort to kludges, such as tables 
(good when the text is in distinct verses) or linked frames.
