Can only write on the left half of column split doc????
I added columns (2) to a doc and can't get the curser into the right half of
doc. How do I do this so I can use both columns? Thanks |

If you're wanting to use columns this way, there's a good chance you need a
table rather than newspaper-style (snaking) columns, which are intended for text that fills one column before starting another. But if you have a good reason for (at least temporarily) breaking to a new column, you can insert a column break with Ctrl+Shift+Enter. -- Suzanne S.

Although the version of Word & exactly what you are trying to do would be
helpful to know, the short answer is that *Columns* in Word refers to newspaper-type columns that flow top-bottom, right-left. If what follows doesn't help, post back with more detail about your requirements. It sounds like what you are trying to do would be better served by a Table, 2 columns wide by 'X' rows tall. You can remove the Borders if you wish. If you actually do want newspaper columns but need to move on to the second column without completely filling the first, use a Column Break (InsertBreak - Column Break). -- HTH |:) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac "Todd L." wrote in message ...
