You could try using a table. To do that:

1. Click on the Insert tab.
2. Click on the Table button.
3. Choose a two column by one row table.
4. Drag the bottom edges of the cells to the bottom of the page.
5. Highlight both cells.
6. Click on the Design tab under the Table Tools contextual tab on the Ribbon.
7. Click on the dropdown arrow next to the Borders button toward the right-hand side.
8. Choose "No borders" in the menu that pops up.

I hope that helps you!
