I trying to setup a template for a work instruction that uses columns at the document level but also a table. The intent is to have two rows of table (each 2 row section to be comprised of 3 cells, bottom row slit into two cells) displayed on each side of the document (see attachment). The people using the blank template are not able to manage the formatting on their own (the best scenario would be to provide them with a macro button to add new sections). Once the first page is filled in, I'd like to be able to simply add new sections to either the end of the document or in-between two existing section The best scenario would be to provide them with a macro button to add new sections.



And if that isn't enough to ask, the ability to move and re-order the sections is also needed. I originally started using a single table that spanned the page (without using document columns) but that proved difficult to manage (especially for sorting sections differently)

When I highlight the last two columns to copy and paste (regardless of the paste option chosen), it doesn't seem to work.

I also see that Section Break (Continuous) is needed to force the table to span the document columns. Is this the correct way to handle it.

So, with all that said, what's the best way to accomplish the goals or am I asking too much of Word?
