Writer • Merging two documents into two columns

$

Could someone please tell me which search terms I should use for this query? I have used the terms in the subject line, but I think this might not be the correct name for what I am trying to do.

My job is to translate a five-page, dual-column document from language X to language Y. When I have the Y translation, I need to produce a document with the X text on the left and the Y text on the right. To complicate matters, the finished document has an automatic header and footer on each page.

The only way I know of doing this is by putting a page break at the end of every one of the five pages (which will, of course, end up being ten pages) and using the standard dual-column method for each page. However, if there is a different way, I don't know what it is called so I cannot find it by searching for it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
