[Sca-cooks] OT: need computer help -- typing parallel columns

[Tara Sersen Boroson]

Brighid, have you tried using a table to format your columns?  You can 
make a two-column table with invisible borders.  You could make each 
line of the text a seperate row of table cells, or do the entire text in 
a single table row with normal line breaks.
