MS Word: Convert pages to columns?

[anonymouse1]

I've got a about 300 pages of mixed text and illustrations.

What I want to do is to turn each page into a column in a table, so that I can put commentary in the facing column, while maintaining the current page breaks.

Anybody know a way to do this? I've tried converting paragraphs into tabs and paragraphs, and converting into a table, but it didn't work--I lost the page breaks.

Thanks.
