column of English text and a column of German text. Using a ' | ' character in this way will also help when users export the text for use in a word processor (or spreadsheet) because they will be able to search and replace the ' | ' with a Tab (for example). One thing to bear in mind when correcting such merged columns is that words (or phrases) that are hyphenated or split over two lines in an original column will not be indexed correctly for searching in the erroneously merged columns. If you want any such words (or phrases) indexed for searching (especially names) then you will need to add the 'reconnected' versions as Tags or in a Comment (as you have done in this case), because both Tags and Comments are also indexed for searching.
