I have a long document that I now want to revise extensively. But I would like to have the original paragraphs inline with the new as a reference for what I was up to originally.

Each paragraph starts with an equals sin and a space

=(sp)my text

Is there a way to do this?

Original Outline

= Para 1

= Para 2

= Para 3

= Para 4

Ready for the revisions.

= Para 1

= Para 1

= Para 2

= Para 2

= Para 3

= Para 3

= Para 4

= Para 4

Thanks for any tips/advice/info.

M./

What about just making a copy of all the text and appending it to the end? Then use a split screen (top/bottom) to see the original and make your edits. That way you will have an easier time removing the original (1/2 of the text) and keeping the edited version.
Original
= Para 1
= Para 2
= Para 3
•••• Split in screen ••••
Editing version
= Para 1
= Para 2
= Para 3
