Can't confirm this in PC Word right now, but on my Mac this technique works
fine:
Assume you have a 10-item list, the sixth of which is:
6. Man bites Dog
Place the insertion point at the start of the "M", then create the column
break. In my case items 1-5 remain in column 1 & items 6-10 move to column 2
without any disruption or problem.
If that won't work for you, try removing the number/bullet formatting,
create the column break, then select the list & reapply the formatting.

I keep running into the following issue: when inserting a column break into a
bulleted (or numbered) text, Word keeps the bullet (number) at the end of the
first column butmoves its text to the second. The only way to join the bullet
(number) with its text is to move close to it a picture with a square layout
(basically, to manually push away the bullet).
I've tried inserting column break at the end of a previous bullet and at the
beginning of the bullet that should go to the next column - the same problem.
The orphan control is on.
Any suggestions?
