I have a client with a requirement that a letter (which is dynamically edited using floating fields) appear in French and English side by side. IE - the letter has two text boxes as columns. I'm having serious layout issues as soon as the text area spans over 2 pages. Any ideas on how to keep these text boxes straight? I tried using a table but was unable to get it to expand when needed.

Just replying to my own post with my solution in case someone searches for this with the same problem. Here's the article that helped the most: http://blogs.adobe.com/formfeed/2009/06/displaying_parallel_columns_of.php

I had to assemble my text in the backend using scripts since it needs to change on the fly and floating fields won't work in text fields. Made a ton of extra work but at least it's a solution.
