I want to combine 2 chapters of the same book one is in Latin and
one is in English.
Each translation has many lines each line has a number.
How can I insert line nr.1 in English after line nr 1 in Latin,
without using the Clipboard.It only holds 12 lines and I have to
copy each one separately and paste it one by one.
Does anyone know of a quicker way?
import the latin text all at once into a table that has 3 columns,
Language (integer), lineno (long integer), linetext (text length as
required).Then make a query
UPDATE table (language) VALUES (1);.

Import the English into the same table. UPDATE table (language)
VALUES (2) WHERE language is null;

Now make a query
SELECT linetext from table ORDER BY LineNo, Language;

I would suspect you are using Microsoft Word.

You have posted this message to the wrong newsgroup.
The access in this groups name refers to Microsoft Access, a database
program.
Please repost to the correct newsgroup for whatever Office program you
are using. I would suggest you include your Windows and Office version
number in the message.

I suspect you are correct, Fred. But I really, really like Bob's Access
solution to the problem, so I'm willing to not correct the person. After
all, how do I know they are NOT using Access? They were posting to an Access
newsgroup, after all.

And the resultant querry can be exported back to Word... :)
