Problem

I want to do a two-column layout in Microsoft Word, but instead of the second column being written as a continuation of the first, I want the two columns to be written separately just like they were two different pages. How would you go about doing this in Word 2010?

Another easy way to do what you describe is to use a table. Turn the borders off and you'll get two columns that are independent of each other.
