Description

An original and its translation need to be compared keeping paragraph and character styles, but they may not have the same paragraph structure. (Otherwise, a convert text to table and then a copying and pasting side by side would be sufficient).

Current approach
The two texts are pasted in two separate cells in the same document.

Problems

Main
Since their length differs, the comparison is very difficult because translated sentences are not at the same height in the cell. Constant adjustments of cell width are performed, but, with long documents, it is practically impossible to have sentences at the same height.

Secondary

1. One needs to choose web view not page
2. Footnote numbering is grouped together 
3. The Default Paragraph Style being set to one language, checking both texts, requires extra tweaks, which are not easy for the average user.
