As Bob suggests it will be easiest to make a table. Create a table 
consisting of two columns and one row. Copy&paste the revised text into 
the left field and the original into the right field.

Be sure the settings is so columns will break over page-breaks. 
Afterwards you can just edit fonts, sizes, styles etc. in each row. You 
can also let the standard frames be as is or you can use 'Select All' 
and then remove the table grid in the popup menu for tables by setting 
it to 'None'.

I always do it this way if I for example have a Danish text in one 
column and the same text translated into English, German etc. in the 
other column.

Cheers, Erik Richard
