You would use a two-column borderless table. (Or, if you want two columns of words/definitions as in your screenshot, a four-column borderless table.) The first (and third) column would be set for left-alignment, the second (and fourth) for right-alignment.
4. Use Tables and Tabs to Arrange Text in Microsoft Word Tables You could use one paragraph style in the first column and another in the second. These could have the proofing language set appropriately as well as the allignment. |

Dear Charles Kenyon,
thank you very much for your reply to my thread. I tried the method you have kindly suggested but the columns remain fixed sized in this method. I mean i can change their width but that width remains for all other words. I am rather looking for a solution which will make my layout like in the image examples i have posted in my first post. In the examples that I have posted there are no fixed columns for words and meanings. Some times is the meaning longer and sometimes the word takes more place than the word befor it. And my task is to get to that solution where for each word and its meaning there is no fixed width. The original word file of my dictionary has over 1500 pages. My hope is that i can find an automated solution for the whole file, after which my layout looks like in one of the example images i have posted in this thread. |

It is more work than a two-column table but will allow text on the left and right to overlap. This is what is called Flush justification in Wordperfect. Note that this workaround is imperfect and requires a great deal of manual tweaking.

The "body of text" for all odd-numbered pages are all "vertically-centered-aligned".
