placing two long docs side by side

Hello All:

I've got a problem: two long docs that I'd like to place side by side. I'm
thinking two columns, and I thought that if I formatted a new document w/ 2
columns, then pasted one doc in one column and then the other in the other
column everything would be cool. Well, when I try to paste one doc it runs
into the other column.
How do I do what I want to do?

Thanks in advance.
