If you mean from one table column to the next, use the Tab key.

If you mean newspaper columns and there already is text in all columns,
click in the column where you want to edit.

If you mean newspaper columns, then text will automatically wrap to the next
column when you reach the bottom of the page (or the bottom of the section
if there's a continuous section break before the bottom of the page). If you
want it to wrap sooner, then press Ctrl+Shift+Enter,

No worries, I'm here to help! Moving the cursor from one column to the next in Microsoft Word is actually quite simple. Here are the steps:

1. Place your cursor at the end of the text in the first column.
2. Press the "Ctrl" key on your keyboard and then press the "Shift" key at the same time.
3. While holding down both keys, press the "Enter" key. This will move your cursor to the beginning of the next column.

Alternatively, you can also use the "Column Break" feature to move your cursor to the next column. Here's how:

1. Place your cursor at the end of the text in the first column.
2. Click on the "Page Layout" tab in the ribbon at the top of the screen.
3. Click on the "Breaks" button in the "Page Setup" section of the ribbon.
4. Select "Column" from the drop-down menu.
5. This will insert a column break and move your cursor to the beginning of the next column.
