How do I move from one column to the next in a two-column document
Hi,
I made two columns in my word 2003 document. I wanted to know how I go about jumping from one column to the next? Normally, you have to type all the way to the end of one column in order to reach the next column. I don't want to do that. I just want to type a few words at the top of one column and move to the next column over to type a few more words. I remember someone telling me that there's a keyboard shortcut to do this. Can anyone help? Thank you very much. |

How do I move from one column to the next in a two-column document
If I knew that I had to do what you're asking about, I would have use a two
column table. You could just hit the tab key. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] ~~~~~ How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/KB/555375 "Cade Foster" wrote in message ...

How do I move from one column to the next in a two-column document
You can press Ctrl+Shift+Enter to insert a column break. Or use a two-column
table instead? -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Cade Foster" wrote in message ... Hi, I made two columns in my word 2003 document.

How do I move from one column to the next in a two-column docu
I inserted a column break and then was able to use ALT + down arrow and up
arrow to switch between the two. I thought there'd be an easier way of just using some keyboard shortcuts to switch from one column to the next. I wonder if this was implemented in 2007? So, if this is the only way for now, then I guess my question has been answered. "Stefan Blom" wrote: You can press Ctrl+Shift+Enter to insert a column break.

As both fellow correspondents have told you - use a two column table!
