When you add a column break in a text paragraph, the text after the
break is moved to the next column (as expected). Also, text added
before the column break will never flow across the break; that way,
the two "parts" of text are separated.
However, the text after the break will not have its own bullet (or
numbering) formatting; that way, the "split" paragraph is still a
single paragraph.
You would have to separate the paragraph from the column break. This
will be easier to do if you press the ¶ button so that Word displays
nonprinting characters. You will now see, among other things, ¶
symbols which represents paragraph marks. (For more, see
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/formatting/NonPrintChars.htm.) Place the
cursor at the end of the text in the first column, just before the
break. Press Enter. Copy the text that belongs to the former bullet
(number) into that paragraph.
With nonprinting characters displayed, you would then see the
following:
- Bulleted item - Another bulleted item¶
More text here.¶ More text follows here.
column break - A bulleted item again¶
Note: You will have to look at this message in a monospaced font, such
as Courier New, if you want the example above to look correctly.

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?
