Default I can't get columns to work in an existing document

Hi ?B?YnJhbmRpZXMgbW9t?=,

I have an existing document in which I want to make 2 columns out of one long
one. I have followed the instructions in the Word help file but it doesn't
work. It won't let me drag what I want in the second column to that column
but will sometimes move part of it when I hit enter.

Try pressing Ctrl+Shift+Enter with the cursor just before the text that you want
in the next column. (Note: I'm assuming you're using Format/Columns or the
Columns toolbar button and not a table.)
