I actually know the answer to my question, but since it took me several
minutes to figure it out, someone else may want to know. It is NOT
INTUITIVE.
It is a HASSLE. Instead of simply using the old Ctrl-Enter shortcut, you
have
to go -- not to "Insert" -- but to Page Layout. There you will see the old
icon for page breaks and the word "Breaks." Click on "Breaks" and choose
"Column Breaks."
Here is what does NOT work: don't bother typing into the "Help" dialog
box
the phrase "insert column break." No help is given, just a lot of mumbo
jumbo.
Also, don't bother going to the Office Button logo, clicking on Word
Options, Customize, and "All Commands." There IS NO COMMAND for "insert
column break."
The ONLY way to insert a column break is to click on "Page Layout" and
"Breaks." Hope this saves someone some time.
Note to Microsoft: why should I ever buy any more upgrades to your
product
if it makes everything harder? Did you really want to decrease your market
share among old faithful customers?
