comment5
I
need
to select the column with translations for copy-paste with the mouse.
How to do it correctly in page layout, preferably block layout without tabular layout (however, it seems that after the first paragraph, the selection captures all the text horizontally from all columns).

Answer 1

Why didn't you like the spreadsheet? It's just made for you.

Answer 2

To select vertically, create a table with three cells and insert columns of text into them.

Answer 3

You can put each column in a separate block and each word in a separate block. This is how it works in Firefox, I haven't tried it in others:

<div style="float:left">
  <div>слово1</div>
  <div>слово2</div>
</div>
<div style="float:left">
  <div>перевод1</div>
  <div>перевод2</div>
</div>
<div style="float:left">
  <div>комментарий1</div>
  <div>комментарий2</div>
</div>

For div>diva better fix height.
