Column wrapping/formatting/snaking with either Excel or Excel + Word.

[hyoomen]

Looking for information regarding the possibility of having two columns
wrap up to the next two columns to fit a certain page size. Would like
to have two sets of columns per page, two pages per sheet. Ideally, I
would like these all to wrap or be linked so the end of the first set
of columns moves to the beginning of the second set of columns on page
1, then the end of the second set of columns on page 1 becomes the
beginning of the first set of columns on page 2 and so on.

Is this sort of linked column wrapping possible? How about with Word?
In a text layout program like Quark or Illustrator, you would be able
to have two text boxes that you link together so the text flows from
one to the other. Is this possible at all with Office?

So to review: I have

| a | 1|
| b | 2|
| c | 3|
| d | 4|

and want it to print as

| a | 1| | c | 3|
| b | 2| | d | 4|

There is the Excel add-in I wrote -"Side by Side" that should do what you
want.
It is easy to use, very fast and comes with instructions. - 74 kb zipped.
If you want to give it a try, I'll be glad to email it to you.
