Answer: How do I move my cursor between columns in a Word document?
Moving Cursor Between Columns in Word
[list=1][*]Place your cursor at the end of the text in the left-hand column.[*]Press the Ctrl key and then press the Shift key at the same time.[*]While holding down both keys, press the Enter key. This will move your cursor to the beginning of the right-hand column.[*]Start typing in the right-hand column without any text wrapping from the left-hand column. Alternatively, you can also use the mouse to move your cursor between columns. Here's how: 1. Click anywhere in the left-hand column to place your cursor there. 2. Move your mouse to the top of the left-hand column until you see a small icon with two arrows pointing in opposite directions. 3. Click on this icon to move your cursor to the beginning of the right-hand column. 4. Start typing in the right-hand column without any text wrapping from the left-hand column.

How do I move my cursor between columns in a Word document?
You can insert a column break using Ctrl+Shift+Enter, but make sure that
newspaper-style columns are what you really want; possibly you need a table instead. See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/UsingColumns.htm -- Suzanne S.

HOW DO I GET MY CURSOR TO THE RIGHT-HAND COLUMN??? Actually the above question has not been answered. What has been answered is now to create column breaks. I have two columns and would like to move from one column to another even if there is no text. I don't want to use table with lines, I just want to move about. Thank you |

Thank you You cannot move between newspaper columns unless they contain text. If they do contain text, you can move the insertion point for example by clicking in the text, or by using the same commands as in single-column text (see the article at http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/wo...CH060831551033 "Keyboard shortcuts for Word"). From your description, it does seem as if a table would be the best choice. Note that you can remove the table border. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP |

I just found it on-line. At the end of the text in your left column, press
Control+Shift+Enter. -- Linda "Stefan Blom" wrote: "Simon G" Simon wrote in message ... "RTH" wrote: I have a document with two columns.

Ctrl+Shift+Enter inserts a column break, yes.
Usually you let Word flow the text into the next column, though (or make use of a table). -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Linda" wrote in message ... I just found it on-line.

Keep typing until you've filled up the first column.
However, it's more likely that what you want is a two-column table (with no borders); then you can put items side by side in the two columns.
