Using two sections in each page

My requirment is to use two sections in each page of the doc. I have
some translation work where in each page, one section is HINDI (lang1)
and other section is KANNADA(lang2).

In each page, I write half of A4 sheet in LANG1 and the other half in
LANG2. When I complete the first part of A4 sheet if contents of LANG1
extends beyond, it has to go to the next page.
Is it possible in Word 2007?
This way, the contents of LANG1 and the same content transaltions into
LANG2 can be found in the same page.
I know sections but I have to do it keep doing it for each page. And
moreover I have to keep doing it for each page which makes it painful.
If MVPs or any folks with expertise in WORD can help, it would be
great.
 
The conventional way to do this is with a two-column (borderless) table.
Start a new row for each paragraph (and make sure that no row extends longer
than a single page).

That does not help because if I have to reformat the font etc. I will
have set the layout all again for each page and my doc may run into
200 pages. That is simply not possible. Moreover I would want the
sections in ROW split than in COLUMN split.
Thanks,
Amit
 
I don't see why that would require changing the font or anything else. But I
can assure you that there will not be any easy way to do this in rows rather
than columns. A two-column table is traditional and is quite easy to
implement.
