parallel dual language and footnotes question
Does anyone now how to do this?
I'm translating an ancient Hebrew document and adding footnotes to my English translation. I want to have the Hebrew original on pages on the left-hand side and my English translation on the Right-hand pages with the footnotes from the English page running along the bottom of both pages. To be clear, not a duplicate of the footnotes under each page but I want to take advantage of the full footer real-estate of both pages for my English page footnotes. Does anyone know how to do something like this? Thanks in advance! |

You should likely be using a two-column table for your text rather than columnar sections.
However, in response to your direct question, use the dialog launcher in the bottom right corner of the footnote group on your references tab to give you this dialog. Pick one column for your footnotes.

Hi thanks for the response. So I need to set up a 2 column table and make that table span 2 pages? Is that what you're saying?

I'm saying that right now I believe you are using columns under the layout tab; a table is more suitable. If you were using a table, you would not be asking the question about footnotes spanning the page.
The table can span however many pages you want it to. you likely want one row for each paragraph in your translation. While tables show borders when you insert them, the borders are optional. |

That is indeed the implication of what Charles is saying, but a table cannot do a column-wise span of two pages; both columns have to be on the same page. You could use linked textboxes to produce a document that has English text on one page and Hebrew text on the opposing page, but you can't add footnotes to textboxes.

Use the option dialog I showed you if you need to have columnar text on your pages.
