Post title: Word macros for aligning
When I was looking for alignment tools a few months ago, I had whole book manuscripts that I wanted to place into TMs. Nothing that I looked at seemed to meet my needs, especially for Word files where I used a two-column table, with an original paragraph in the left column and its translated paragraph in the right column. If you have this situation, I've written a macro to break the paragraphs into segments and align them, with a few residual misalignments to be cleaned up when done.
I also wrote a version of the macro to align texts in separate files, however, it's nowhere nearly as polished as Align Factory (but it's free).
Please let me know if you think you can use one of these two macros.
