Bug ID: 135008
Summary: Enhancement request: parallel columns
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 6.4.5.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
This request is that LibreOffice be able to create two independent parallel
columns that will flow from page to page. This is different from 'newspaper
columns' that flow from the left column into the right column. It is also
different from setting up a 2-column table.
Parallel columns would be useful if: 1) you were creating a text that has the
main text in the left hand column and commentary notes in the right hand
column, 2) you wish to translate a multipage text, with original language and
translation side-by-side.
Wordperfect has this functionality. The command is Format>Columns>Parallel. See
the WP X8 Handbook, p.80-81, at
