I have installed Textbridge to be invoked by Canosacn, the bundled
software with my LiDE 25 scanner. After recognising the text it loads
Word 2003 automatically.

When I scan two columns of newsprint Word 2003 ignores the separate
columns although the two columns are indicated by soft carriage
returns. If I switch to two columns in Word 2003 the second column is
completely lost.

I understand that Word 1997 accepts the text as two separate columns.
Can I achieve this in Word 2003?
