Message: [QUOTE="Peter T. Daniels, post: 5505821"] That kind of layout is common in linguistics, where you commonly have three or even four lines that go together. The only way I've found to deal with it is to use tabs instead of spaces between words, and line breaks (Shift-Enter) at the end of each sub-line (in your case, at the end of each English line) and paragraph breaks (Enter) at the end of the last sub-line (in your case, at the end of each Polish line). Then, with the cursor in each line, click in the ruler at the top of the window to place tab stops at places that space the words in the sub-lines nicely. (Before you add tab stops, the tabs between words will make the words go to the next available default tab stop, which might be 0.5 inch or 1 cm or some such, so the lines could temporarily break until you put in the "real" tab stops.) You can format sub-lines however you'd like -- put the cursor in the left margin until it turns into an up-left-pointing arrow, click, and a sub-line is selected. There doesn't seem to be any way to automate all of this. It can be quite time-consuming to get it to look nice. [/QUOTE]
