Word-2007, Wind-XP
Example: English column--X Russian column. The 'X's indicate where I'd like columns to be split.

-------he is specious-- X он лицемер
specious arguments-- X поверхностные аргументы
----specious excuse-- X благовидный предлог

I'd like to move 'English' column to the right, behind the 'Russian' column.

Is there a 'special' Copy-Paste option?
Or something similar to Excel , when one can indicate where to split the lines of text and then - move the column 1 behind col-2 ?

Thank you.

Assuming that this is a table, you can select the left column, cut it, and paste it on the right side of the table.

Thank you for answering, Stefan.
Unfortunately for me, this is not a table.

I will be doing it on daily bases so creating a table is more work, considering that I have to finaly convert the .doc file to .txt file.

Is there another way ?

Thanks.

You can create a vertical selection by holding the Alt key as you select using the mouse, if that helps.

Thanks, Stefan.
It works for removing one of my columns,
but How would I paste it to the right of the rightmost column ?

I looked thru some other forums - no luck.

Could you perhaps paste the data to another document (temporarily) and then add a table to the original document?
